Rehabilitating the Culver Line Viaduct with Composites

When it comes to rehabilitating bridges, an increasingly attractive answer is composite materials. Composites are made from two or more distinct materials that, when combined, produce a stronger and better material offering lighter weight, corrosion resistance, versatility, and overall cost-effectiveness. These qualities are ideal for maintaining fragile historical bridges, safely installing prefabricated decking, and curbing long-term maintenance needs. Perhaps no North American project demonstrates the benefits of rehabilitating with composites more than that of the New York Subway System’s Culver Line Viaduct. …
