The main span is built in the balanced cantilever method. The span across the navigational channel is 440 feet long and the spans on either side of the channel are 300 feet. The first segment for the side span is lifted into position and temporarily held in place by the beams across the pier segment. A closure pour will be cast at the joint of the segments and post tensioning bars will be used to lock the segments together. |
