Harry H. Edwards Industry Advancement Award and Best Bridge with Spans between 76 and 150 ft (23.2 and 46 m): Hodder Avenue Underpass

摘要

The Hodder Avenue underpass in Thunder Bay is proof that the extensive use of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) in a modular construction project delivers versatility, durability, and design excellence. This underpass is the first structure in North America to incorporate precast UHPC pier cap and pier column shells along with precast high-performance concrete box girders, parapet walls, and approach slabs. All field connections were field cast using UHPC, resulting in smaller, simpler joints with superior durability.
