Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The West Virginia Department of Transportation owns the Kanawha River Bridge, currently under construction in Kanawaha County. A cast-in-place segmental box girder bridge, it will hold the United States' record for longest concrete box girder span, with a main span of 760 feet. Bridge layout, superstructure, substructure, and construction are discussed. A box details bridge aesthetics. Pertinent facts about the Kanawha River Bridge are presented in a profile, including the name of the engineer (T. Y. Lin International) and the bridge construction cost ($75 million ($379 per square foot)).
