This bridge carries the US 19 (CR55 & US 98) Corridor over the Cross Florida Barge Canal. The bridge is a three-span continuous spliced I-girder bridge of 255-285-255 ft. Each of the girders consists of five segments: two end segments of 162.25 ft, two haunch segments of 120 ft, and one drop-in segment of 163 ft. The segments are connected by two closure pours of two feet long and four post-tension tendons with 15- 0.6-inch strands each. The haunch girder depth varies from 13ft at the interior support to 6.5 ft at its ends. Both the end segment and the drop-in segment have a constant girder depth of 6.5 ft. We were responsible for shop drawing review and solved complex construction issues. Also performed in-depth girder crack analysis. The analytical results can be applied to future similar bridge design and were published in TRB Journal (2012).
