Franklin Pacific was the structures subcontractor to Williams Charles West for the  the Status Creek Bridge Replacement project in Yakima Washington.  The project involved the design and construction of a 130 foot long detour bridge on an adjacent alignment to the mainline bridge. Once the detour was opened the existing bridge was removed.  Franklin Pacific then constructed a single span 180 foot long by 39 foot wide precast concrete tub girder bridge on a horizontal curve.  The 18 foot tall abutments are founded on bedrock. Temporary bents were constructed to support the three lines of precast segmental tub girders.  The 9 sections of precast tubs were set and then the cast in place bridge deck was constructed.  Once the bridge deck was constructed closure sections of the girders and bridge deck were built.  Post tensioning tendons were installed and the superstructure was stressed.  In addition to the bridge construction a 2200 foot long cantilevered retaining wall was constructed that varied in height from 10 feet to 17 feet.  The retaining wall stems were precast and set on large dobies and then the continuous footings were cast in place in approximately 150 foot long sections. This method of retaining wall construction allowed for a compressed schedule.  Franklin Pacific performed inhouse all engineering required for the detour bridge, formwork, and shoring.
