Company to pay for replacement of column in Marquette Interchange
Published September 8, 2010 - BizTimes Daily
HNTB Corp., in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, announced plans to replace a deficient support column that is positioned adjacent to the ramp on 11th and Wisconsin Avenue that leads to southbound Interstate 43 in Milwaukee.
HNTB has accepted responsibility for the design issue with the pier and is paying for total replacement.
Work will begin immediately to build shoring that will support the ramp so that it may be safely reopened for one lane of traffic. The shoring will take four to six weeks to construct.
Once shoring is in place, construction will begin on the replacement pier, which will have a design life of 75 years. Construction of the replacement pier should take three months. The deficient pier will be demolished.
Other piers in the Marquette Interchange designed by HNTB have been checked, and it has been determined that they are sound and pose no safety issue for the traveling public.
