Abstract:

The Golden Ears Bridge, currently under construction, will provide a vital new crossing over the Fraser River, which divides the heavily populated Fraser River Valley near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The main bridge is a 968 m long multi-span cable-stayed structure supported by four main river piers with heights up to 80 m. The structure is an unusual hybrid cable-stayed structure, which utilizes a composite steel-concrete deck and relatively flat harped cable-stays with low profile. The bridge has a structural behavior, which is between that of a true cable-stayed bridge and an extradosed bridge. The key features of the main bridge design are described herein.
