Bridge and Highway Ironwork in Detroit: what to expect
Bridge and highway ironwork in Detroit covers setting steel girders and beams, installing bearings, cross frames and diaphragms, placing deck rebar, and repairing or replacing steel on existing structures. The freeway network through Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, including overpasses on I-94, I-75, I-96 and the Lodge, is aging, and freeze-thaw cycles with road salt drive steady repair work.
This is heavy civil work for public owners, road commissions, railroads and the general contractors who bid it. Crews coordinate crane picks, lane or track closures, night work and traffic control. Many jobs also involve rebar installation for decks and substructures.
Owners and prime contractors can compare subcontractors for erection, rebar and repair packages here and browse all Metro Detroit ironworkers.
