The superstructure was erected in less than 12 months saving valuable construction time and money for all parties concerned. In the closing month of the project a record five spans of 118 ft (36 m) each, i.e., a total of 590 ft (180 m) of completed bridge deck, were erected. This rate of erection is indicative of the efficiency that can be gained using precast prestressed segmental construction and particularly span-byspan erection.
