Bridge Deck Replacement: Dewitt Avenue Over Sprain Brook Parkway

Garg is providing construction inspection and management services to the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) for the bridge deck replacement of the Dewitt Avenue Bridge over the Sprain Brook and Bronx River Parkways. Since 2022, the bridge’s capacity has been reduced, which has restricted vehicle and pedestrian traffic on this 300-foot multi-span bridge.

• Replacement of the bridge deck based on all current NYSDOT standards, including new link slabs and integral abutments.
• Replacement of the bridge lighting, increasing the number of luminaires for enhanced visibility
• Installing fences, guiderails, ADA sidewalks, scuppers, and granite curbs
