Bridge No. 05561 is built in 1987 and carries Route 3 over Route 2 and Ramp 080 Eastbound in Glastonbury, Connecticut. The two-span bridge consists of 4 continuous steel multi-box girders composite with a reinforced concrete deck. The overall length of the structure is 85m with a curb-to-curb width of 18m. Bridge No. 05561 is one of nine bridges assigned to a pavement preservation project for which load ratings have to be performed to determine whether the bridges could handle the additional loads of the miller and paver. Because of the complexity of this particular structure, midas Civil was used to generate a 3D model and evaluate the structure’s capacity.
