Utah's First Segmental Bridge - A Bridge in Harmony with Nature

摘要

The new US-191 Bridge over the Colorado River in Moab, Utah will blend with the spectacular landscape of Utah's Canyonlands region. Utah's first segmental concrete bridge is constructed from above to allow continual recreational use of the river and surrounding area during construction. Longer spans ensure a minimal bridge footprint, protecting the cherished environment. A unique public involvement process ensured a context sensitive design representative of the community's vision, and in harmony with nature.
