Abstract

The author describes the various phases in the construction of the East Huntington Bridge — a 1966 ft (600 m) long prestressed concrete cable stayed structure. The cable stayed portion of the bridge  girder was built using precast concrete segments. The 250 ton (227 t) segments were match cast off-site using the long line casting method. They were then barged to the site and lifted into position using  a 600 ton (544 t) floating crane. The South Approach was constructed by the cast -in-place cantilever method. Both the precast and cast-in-place portions of the structure utilized high strength concrete  with a specified 28-day compressive strength of 8000 psi (55 MPa). The bridge was completed successfully based on a well planned construction schedule.
