The 685 precast superstructure segments, each weighing between 65-90 tons, were cast in a yard located on the Cline Avenue Bridge property. There were four total casting cells. Three cells were used to cast typical box girder segments inside an 82’ wide by 300’ long by 58’ high casting building that was erected for the project. This allowed segment casting to continue throughout the winter. The new bridge is 6,236’ long with a 316’ main span over the Indiana Harbor and Ship Canal, providing 100’ of vertical and 200’ of horizontal navigational clearance. The superstructure is composed of sustainable post-tensioned concrete single cell box girders designed with low maintenance features for over a 150-year life.
