Engineering is the backbone of our success in every type of construction.

Project Details

Alexander Road – Princeton, NJ NJDOT

This project included the demolition and replacement of the Alexander Road Bridge over the D & R Canal in Princeton, NJ for the NJDOT. Anselmi & DeCicco employs many of our capabilities on projects such as these.

  • Demolition and removal of existing bridge.
  • Relocation of existing utilities and installation of new utilities.
  • Installation of temporary sheeting and cofferdams.
  • Construct new bridge including pilings, footings, abutments, deck and historical wood facade.
  • Engineering better and safer means of construction without disrupting water flow.

Unusual Challenges:

  • Demolish existing bridge and install steel sheeting and cofferdams in and around the canal without disrupting water flow.
  • Build a new bridge from the footings up including a special wood facade to maintain the historic look of the area.
  • Repair any disturbed areas in and around the canal.


Unique Solutions:

  • Anselmi & DeCicco used value engineering, specific equipment and various materials to change and improve the construction methods of this project.
  • This provides a better end product, reduces employee exposure to the dangers of working in & around water, and minimizes disturbance to the existing area.
