American/Avalon was responsible for the evaluation, load rating and preparation of widening and repair plans for two precast, prestressed concrete core-slab bridges over the intercoastal waterway. The City wanted to make these two bridges into “showpieces” for these high profile bridges near the coastline in downtown Naples. The bridges were widened to include the addition of a sidewalk and bicycle path on each side as well as the implementation of numerous aesthetic improvements including decorative lighting and an ornamental barrier railing to fit within the context of the high end community in which it is located. Repairs included the placement of structural jackets on deteriorated piles and repair of failed sea wall panels.
