| Description | This is one bridge 378 ft. long and 25 ft. wide with 3 spans (25-ft center span and 114-ft end spans). Located in Unalakleet on Norton Sound in Alaska, this bridge is typical in style of bridges built in remote location within the state. Its substructure consists of pipe pile extensions that support a precast concrete pile cap beam, and its superstructure consists of rolled wide flange beams that support prefabricated full-depth concrete deck panels. Materials had to be delivered by a barge that could not operate until after July 1st because Norton Sound was frozen. The new bridge was open to traffic in August 2000, 55 days after materials were unloaded from the barge. Prefabrication for this bridge included precast concrete pile cap beams and full-depth deck panels. |
