Written by Admin | Feb 20, 2023

As outdated bridges come to the end of their useful life and need to be replaced, County Prestress & Precast can provide a reliable, long-term solution that can be implemented quickly to reduce lane closures and mitigate traffic congestion. County Prestress & Precast’s enhanced production capacity for prestressed bridge girders helps keep transportation projects in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, and Missouri on schedule.

The Osseo Bridge Project

When the Wisconsin Department of Transportation wanted to replace aging bridge structures in Osseo, WI, they relied on County Prestress & Precast responsive team.

Our regional facilities are equipped to meet local transportation demands with short lead times. For the Osseo Bridge project, our Roberts and Janesville prestress facilities worked together to manufacture 16 prestressed concrete girders to keep the project on schedule. Eight girders were manufactured in Roberts and measured 145 feet long at 146,000 pounds each. The remaining girders were slated for production in Janesville and measured 129 feet long at 130,000 pounds.

With extensive coordination, our highly skilled Heavy Haul Truck Drivers carefully maneuvered tight intersections on the way to the job site. The girders were delivered safely, timely, and installed within one month.
