Steel grid decking offers efficient installation, long-term performance and low life cycle costs over competing products. The grid decking reinforces the precast concrete to form a composite material that takes advantage of the best properties of both the concrete and steel. Concrete was precast into these complex panels by a separate supplier and the panels were shipped to the site ready to install. The city of New York relyed on stimulus resources from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to partially fund this contract. The project’s general contractor, Skanska, painted the bridges main span as well as retrofitted and widened the approach ramps and replaced railings. L.B.
