Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based rail products manufacturer L.B. Foster Company announced Wednesday that it has received a $13 million award from the American Bridge Company, a general contractor, to supply the steel grid decking and galvanized drainage grating for the Walt Whitman Bridge Suspension Span and Anchorages Project.
"The bridge's original roadway will be replaced with L.B. Foster's custom engineered steel grid decking. This innovative technology will help enhance the structural integrity of the Delaware River span with the new deck's improved strength-to-weight ratio versus the existing concrete slab," noted John Stewart, L.B. Foster Construction Products Sales Representative.
