RJW Finger Joints were installed on the Ohio River Bridge
Why RJW Finger Joints?
The maintenance crews like them because they are designed for ease of maintenance with a small crew and minimal lane closure time. They can be fabricated to meet bridge deck skews and can be supplied with post tensioned anchors into concrete headers, cast into concrete blockouts, or bolted to existing steel members
Bridge owners like them because they can be supplied with post tensioned anchors into concrete headers, cast into concrete blockouts, or bolted to existing steel members and the joints will last the life of the bridge under normal circumstances
Communities prefer them because they provide a smooth transition for vehicular traffic, resulting in low noise
