SAI was responsible for the erection of the 196’ single span steel multi-girder bridge.
The physical features of this project include:
- 196′ single span steel multi-girder bridge
- The bridge was constructed in multiple phases to allow for a single lane of alternating traffic during construction
Other features of this project include:
- Utilized single tower near mid-span during girder erection due to long span
- Utilized crane on causeway accessed via a temporary bridge structure
- Additional cranes were placed behind abutments and girders were designed such that smaller cranes could pick end pieces until splices connected
- Girders were lowered off tower and attached to existing pier near mid span to provide lateral support for system stability and wind
- The pier attached provided support during deck placement until the final phase where the two adjacent phases were connected
- Utilized crane on causeway accessed via a temporary bridge structure
