THE LEDYARD BRIDGE REPLACEMENT: MEETING THE NEEDS OF TWO COMMUNITIES WHILE MANAGING DIFFICULT SITE CONDITIONS

LE REMPLACEMENT DU PONT DE LEDYARD: UNE ETUDE DE CAS

To present the engineering and architectural design requirements for replacing the Ledyard Bridge that spans the Connecticut River between Hanover, New Hampshire and Norwich, Vermont. The new Ledyard Bridge will be an architectural structure featuring multiple pedestrian facilities resulting from the cooperation efforts of the two States and the townspeople. Difficult site conditions including irregular riverbed and bedrock topography added to the design challenge and dictated the need for different foundation types at each abutment and pier.
