Manito Rd Bridge over Mackinaw River

Hutchison Engineering, Inc. (HEI) was selected by Tazewell County to provide construction engineering services for the construction of a new 736' long, 6 span, steel plate girder structure. The project included demolition of the existing structure, new substructure including 2 abutments, 5 piers, steel plate girders, reinforced concrete deck, concrete parapets, concrete approaches and other collateral approach work. Substructure construction included driving 103 H-piles and constructing 2 cofferdams. HEI was responsible for providing the Resident Engineer and all construction inspectors. The HEI staff are responsible for all ICORS entries including daily diary, quantity documentation and materials inspection and testing. Due to the project being funded with federal funds, the HEI Resident Engineer routinely coordinated with IDOT. The prime contractor started work on November 1, 2016 and worked through the winter on demolition and substructure. The winter work expedited the schedule and is going to allow the contractor to finish well ahead of the anticipated schedule. Construction of this $5 million project is scheduled to be completed in 2017.
