The precast superstructure segments are 36ft wide and 8? long and are prefabricated at a local precasting plant. Precast hollow segmental concrete box pier columns are used for the substructure. To limit the impact to the environment, the precast segments are erected in balanced cantilever "top down" using a specially designed straddle carrier mounted on a temporary work bridge.
