Abstract: |
The Veterans Memorial Bridge at Ottawa, Ill., is the longest plate girder, stringer type bridge in the country with spans of 385, 510 and 305 ft. Value engineering played an important part in the design, and cut about $2 million off the cost of the estimate for the originally proposed structure. |
