Project Description
This project covers the construction of a 60-ft single-span vehicular highway bridge that
crosses a small ravine. It is a deck-girder type bridge and is of composite steel-concrete
construction.
The bridge has two reinforced concrete abutments resting on heavy concrete footings that
are supported on several steel piles. The reinforced concrete deck is supported on steel
beams and steel guardrails are installed on deck sides. Figure 1 illustrates two bridge
sections, profile and traverse section. Figure 1. Profile and Traverse Section of the Highway Bridge
It is intended to develop a CPM network and build a schedule of values for this project
using MS Project (MSP 2013 or 2016) Software. 1 Project activities for the Bridge Project are provided in Figure 2. Prepare a node diagram
for this project by providing precedence links between activities. There are a total of 42
activities in this project. Activity numbers are given in the second column of the bar chart
in Figure 2 that should be used throughout this project.
The shaded ovals for each activity in Figure 2 represent the ES to EF times and bolded
ovals show the critical path. The white ovals that extend to the right of the noncritical
activities represent the total float.
It is evident from the bar chart that no work is scheduled for weekends. There is a
milestone on the bar chart after activity #310 (Backfill abutment #2) to better monitor
project progress. Figure 2. Bar Chart Schedule of Highway Bridge
The engineering and procurement activities of the project given in Table 1 are not
incorporated in Figure 1.

6 The node diagram should clearly show various activities and their interrelationships.
There is no need for calculating activity durations or the critical path at this point. You
should do this part outside the MSP software, TABLE 2 – Contractor’s Cost Estimate
(Please use the total column including overhead for budgeting activities; the total project cost
should add up to $566,514) 3 Use dates provided. Make sure you are not violating the precedence and no date is on a weekend or
Holiday. You should be able to adjust each date with 1 to 3 days difference. TABLE 3 – Project Status as of June 12, 2017
