| Abstract: |
The 3.38 km US 90 Bridge over St. Louis Bay was awarded by the Mississippi DOT five months after Hurricane Katrina destroyed the original bridge. This Design/Build Project has recently finished construction and successfully met the deadlines of opening the first two lanes by May 17th (15 months after award) and the entire bridge on February 15th. The bridge is built as two separate structures except for the navigation unit, where the deck and substructure are continuous between the eastbound and westbound structures.<7p> |
