Speaker: Tom Jenkins, Construction Manager/Safety Director, Figg Bridge Builders, LLC
Topic: South Norfolk Jordan Bridge Project
The new 5,375’ long South Norfolk Jordan Bridge will be a two?lane, fixed span, high-rise toll bridge over the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River. On the west side of the river, the bridge will tie into existing Elm Avenue and provide a roadway tie?in to Burton’s Point Road. On the east side, it will tie into the existing Poindexter Street just west of I?464 and provide connection roads to Truxton Street and I-464.
The new bridge will feature two 12’ wide traffic lanes, two 8’ wide shoulders, and an 8’ wide pedestrian sidewalk separated by a concrete barrier and meeting the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. A fully electronic tolling system will use E?Z Pass to maximize convenience for users. The bridge is scheduled to open to traffic in the spring of 2012.
