The Cass Avenue Bridge over I-94 project marks the sixth bridge replacement along Detroit’s I-94 corridor. Toebe Construction faced numerous logistical challenges to successfully complete this high-profile and high-traffic project. A key component of the work involved night-time concrete placements using a pump truck, with an impressive delivery rate exceeding 200 cubic yards per hour from Hercules’ Kronos plant in Detroit. These night operations minimized traffic disruptions and enabled the team to meet the project’s demanding and aggressive timeline.

The project required meticulous coordination of concrete deliveries, carefully scheduled to align with the rapid pace of construction. Toebe Construction ensured the accurate application of concrete while prioritizing safety for both the crew and the public. With work taking place during the dark night hours in a busy urban area, traffic control and safety were critical. Toebe skillfully managed these challenges, adhering to stringent project specifications and maintaining the highest safety standards.

By overcoming the logistical complexities of this project and through meticulous planning and efficient execution, Toebe Construction delivered the Cass Avenue Bridge replacement on schedule and to specification, contributing to the overall success of the bridge replacements in the I-94 corridor.
