Lake Avenue Bridge over the Owasco River, Auburn, New York

Another Wednesday means another look at what Sessler Wrecking does best in this week’s edition of Wrecking Wednesday!

Sessler Wrecking was tasked with completing the demolition work required for the deck replacement of the Lake Avenue Bridge over the Owasco River in Auburn, New York. The project included removing approximately 17,406 square feet of concrete bridge deck while live utilities remained in service beneath the structure.

Safespan shielding installed by others was positioned below the work area, requiring careful demolition methods to protect both the shielding and active utilities. Our crews also removed the sidewalk stringers and diaphragms along both sides of the bridge.

Following demolition, the steel and concrete debris were transported to separate facilities for recycling.
