Leveraging Digital Twins and 4D Simulation in Bridge Construction Driving Efficiency and Cost Savings

Constructed in 1938, the East 138th Street Bridge in the Bronx, New York, faced the necessity of replacement due to aging infrastructure and frequent vehicular strikes. To address these challenges, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) initiated a $48 million project aimed at building a new 100-foot single-span bridge. This endeavor seeks to resolve clearance issues and accommodate heavy traffic demands.
