Bridges & Pipelines

Services:

This project will demolish the existing 3,500 feet long Sixth Street Viaduct, which spans over the Los Angeles River, railroad corridors, adjacent industrial properties and the 101 Freeway. Constructed in 1932, the concrete structure is deteriorating due to alkali‐silica reaction. Some historic light poles in good condition and existing bronze plaques will be salvaged and possibly reinstalled. A new iconic bridge which is approximately 3,700’ in length (700’ long approach embankment plus 3,000’ of elevated structure) and 94’ wide out‐to‐out total bridge width. The total construction cost of the project is over $420 Million. This project is being delivered via CM/GC method.

CITY OF LOS ANGELES, BUREAU OF ENGINEERING, BRIDGE IMPROVEMENT DIVISION ‐ RIVERSIDE DRIVE NEAR ZOO DRIVE BRIDGE WIDENING OVER LOS ANGELES RIVER

The proposed Riverside Drive near Zoo Drive Bridge Widening Project is located in the City of Los Angeles near Griffith Park area. This project is funded through the Caltrans Highway Bridge Program (HBP). The existing bridge (53C‐ 1298) is a 56‐foot wide, four‐lane Class II Major Highway that runs north‐south over the Los Angeles River. The proposed project includes seismic retrofit of the abutments, widening of the bridge on the downstream side by 19 feet, utility alternation of the existing Caltrans storm drain, and bike path improvements. The new portion of the deck will be supported by cast‐in‐place concrete box girders, rather than matching the existing concrete T‐beams. With the existing soft bottom channel, the project requires a temporary diversion structure to be placed along with the temporary construction platform to perform pile driving activities. The Alliance Group Consulting (TAGC) has been selected to provide Design Support During Construction (DSDC) / Construction Management (CM) Services. TAGC is also assisting the City in performing several design modifications to traffic control, traffic signal and lighting design along with many other CM tasks such as submittal review, contract change order review and negotiation, response to contractor’s RFIs, etc.
