| Abstract: |
The Loko Oweto Bridges on the Benue River in Nigeria are designed and constructed in order to connect the north and south of the country with an upgraded road system and are currently under construction. The project includes two bridges, 1,835 meters long each, and two bridges of 220 meters. The water level of the river rises up to eight meters between seasons and both creative and unique solutions were required during the design and construction. The long bridges have 22 spans with a typical length of 85 meters. |
