Arlington Memorial Bridge

The Arlington Memorial Bridge is a 90-year-old structure carrying 68,000 vehicles daily between Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial. Deteriorated concrete deck and structural elements needed replacement without closing the bridge. The project demanded precision demolition in a highly visible, historically significant location with active traffic, strict environmental controls, and zero margin for error.

CTS deployed wire sawing and Brokk robotic demolition for precise, controlled removal. Work was sequenced around active traffic lanes to maintain flow across the bridge at all times. Dust and vibration management was critical given the proximity to Arlington National Cemetery and the National Mall. The Brokk robots provided electric-powered, zero-exhaust demolition that met the strict environmental requirements of the location.

Completed on schedule with zero safety incidents. The project was featured in CSDA magazine for its innovative approach to demolition on a nationally significant piece of infrastructure. The Arlington Memorial Bridge project demonstrated CTS's capability to deliver precision work on high-profile, historically sensitive projects under demanding operational constraints.

• Completed on schedule with no delays
• Zero safety incidents throughout the project
• Featured in CSDA Magazine for innovative approach
• Traffic maintained on the bridge throughout all phases
