Design and Construction of the Samuel De Champlain Bridge, Montreal, Canada

摘要

The deteriorating condition and associated high maintenance costs of the existing Champlain Bridge prompted the accelerated need for its replacement. Part of the largest infrastructure project currently underway in North America, the Samuel De Champlain Bridge is a viaduct with a signature cable-stayed bridge. This life-line structure was designed to ensure 125 years of service life. The design-build team employed innovative pre-casting, modular segments, and non-traditional erection techniques and sequencing to meet the fast-track project schedule.
