MPA effectively implemented the use of standard bridge details and components to construct a “standard” bridge with a non-standard pedestrian sidewalk and handrail.

Securing required environmental permits was quite difficult. MPA negotiated extensively on behalf of the Client to ensure a reasonable product was delivered. Bridge alignment and construction issues arose on account of sharp skew angle.

MPA effectively implemented the use of standard bridge components to span the large channel width while avoiding the increased costs associated with constructing a major bridge structure at this site.

MPA tailored the standard bridge design to incorporate a sidewalk and a pedestrian handrail on a structure that would otherwise not accommodate pedestrian traffic. Modifying the standard bridge components to provide pedestrian access resulted in cost savings by avoiding the use of a non-standard bridge layout.
