LKB has been working with Nassau County DPW to bring the Charles Lindbergh Boulevard Bridge over Meadowbrook State Parkway to a “state of good repair” and to safely extend its useful service life. This project is federally and local funded. The bridge consists of a 390 foot long, three (3) span steel girder bridge supported on reinforced concrete abutments and multi-column piers. The structure carries three (3) eastbound lanes and three (3) westbound lanes of traffic and sidewalks over the Meadowbrook State Parkway and adjacent services roads. Charles Lindbergh Boulevard carries traffic from the Mitchell Field Complex in Uniondale over the parkway and terminates at Merrick Avenue on the east side of the bridge. The eastbound and westbound travel lanes that cross over the bridge are separated by an existing raised concrete center median with box beam railing.
LKB performed an in-depth inspection and prepared a Bridge Rehabilitation Report (BRR) and Bridge Rehabilitation Justification Report (BRJR) which included a condition assessment and recommendation for repair following the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Bridge Manual. Repair elements include a new concrete deck with the elimination of deck joints, replacement of high bridge bearing with low slider bearings for seismic considerations, new sidewalks, bridge rail and lighting. The design, including WZTC, was developed in accordance with Nassau County requirements, AASHTO, New York State Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices with all NYS supplements and New York State Local Project Manual (LPM) formerly, Procedures for Locally Administered Federal Aid Projects Manual (PLAFAP). Final Plans were submitted to Nassau County Department of Public Works and New York State Department of Transportation.
LKB is providing construction support services for the rehabilitation of the bridge.
This project was originally awarded to The Vertex Companies, LLC, transferred to LKB Engineering, PLLC in December 2024.
