Texas’ first accelerated bridge construction project set for I-635

Texas will get its first accelerated bridge construction project this month, for one of its busiest highways in the northern part of the state, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. The ABC method, which has been used in recent years around the country to rapidly replace damaged or deteriorated bridges with minimal traffic disruptions, will be employed to replace two 50-year-old bridges on Interstate 635 near its intersection with I-20 and U.S. 275. The area east of Dallas in Balch Springs sees up to 150,000 vehicles a day, according to the TxDOT.
