Design and Construction of the 2nd Street Bridge, Austin, Texas

摘要

The new 2nd Street Bridge over Shoal Creek, in Austin is a 160 ft. span, iconic, canted network arch structure that is friendly to both vehicles and pedestrians. The supporting elements of the arch bridge are a pair of outwardly inclined trapezoidal shaped steel ribs each with a network arrangement of galvanized wire rope hangers connected above deck to the girder framing. A central utility corridor between the box girders also accommodates the multiple utility lines.
