| Abstrakt: |
The New Champlain Bridge is an iconic structure, being delivered on an extremely fast tracked schedule. Add to that numerous limitations on construction activities arising from the sensitive river environment, difficult climatic conditions, and concerns over existing regional infrastructure. Finally, throw in strict visual quality requirements to achieve a pre-published architectural concept. This paper discusses how the above conditions guided decision making and design concepts for the approach structures and specific design challenges encountered while meeting the expectations of the constructor, concessionaire and the Authority. |
