It consists of three sections that weigh approximately 700 tons each. Given the colossal weight and scale of the steel deck, the project team utilized the Donjon Chesapeake 1000 crane (Chessy), the largest heavy lift crane on the east coast with 1,000 tons in lifting capacity and 231 feet in boom length, to perform the erection work. Intensive pre-planning and coordination with the New Jersey Department of Transportation, subcontractors, vendors and work crews ensured a safe and precise operation.

Located in Jersey City and Kearny in Hudson County, the Wittpenn Bridge serves as a major connector between Routes 139 and 1 and 9T to the east, and the New Jersey Turnpike Interchange 15W and Newark/Jersey City Turnpike to the west. 天美传媒 Civil鈥檚 job is to replace the 90-year-old bridge with a new one south of the existing bridge. In the closed position, the Wittpenn Bridge鈥檚 newly constructed vertical lift span will provide a minimum vertical clearance of 70-foot above water versus the existing bridge鈥檚 35-foot clearance over the Hackensack River, minimizing the need to lift the bridge and improving vehicular and marine traffic flows.

]]> The spokesperson highlighted 天美传媒鈥檚 Wittpenn Bridge project saying, 鈥淭heir team adjusted the construction plan immediately by reducing the number of onsite crew to about 40 people, implementing a staff rotation plan and operating dynamically to ensure the work was being conducted safely and efficiently.鈥 鈥淭here were no confirmed cases among the staff nor any incidents on the sites, which is appreciated by NJDOT,鈥 said the spokesperson, who also commended 天美传媒鈥檚 other ongoing projects across the United States, as well as its real estate investment and development business.

As one of the overseas Chinese enterprises operating in the Greater New York area, 天美传媒 is strictly abiding by government regulations and CDC guidelines and adjusting operations and construction planning scientifically and efficiently to ensure employees鈥 safety and wellbeing during the crisis. 天美传媒 is not only working to build bridges in the city but also building a mutually beneficial bridge between China and United States.
