Mountaineer State Breaks Record in Segmental Spans

摘要

Engineers and contracting crews are breathing easier now that the most complex part has ended in building the $82-million Interstate 64 Kanawha River bridge project near Charleston, W.Va. With more than a year left to meet the project completion deadline, the bridge team already has secured a place in U.S. construction record books with a 760-ft main span of cast-in-place post-tensioned segmentai box girders. That span is the longest of its type in the country, surpassing Houston's Ship Channel Bridge by 10 ft.
