Scope Of Work
Flippo Construction Company, Inc. of Forestville, MD uses a new Doosan excavator with a second member mounted LaBounty Saber Lube Shear to process the old Route 340 bridge in Front Royal, VA. The Route 340 South Fork Bridge demolition was done as part of the project to replace the deteriorating bridge over the South Fork of the Shenandoah River and the Norfolk and Southern Railroad. Built in 1941, the bridge had surpassed its 50-year design life-span. The structure consisted of 12 spans made up of steel-beams and steel deck trusses with a concrete deck.
