I-64 High Rise Bridge

This project entailed the design of approximately 843,000 square feet of post-and-panel sound barrier and combination sound barrier and retaining walls. There are 18 separate walls located along the east and westbound lanes of I-64, on both the east and west sides of the newly constructed High Rise Bridge located in Chesapeake, VA. The walls consist of precast concrete panels and steel posts fully-embedded into concrete drilled shaft foundations, with maximum wall heights of 32 feet and drilled shaft embedment lengths up to 31 feet.
