Two alternative two-lane, cable-stayed bridges have been designed to carry US-24 over the Mississippi River at Quincy, Illinois. The design and detailing information on both alternatives are presented. Both bridges include main spans of 900 ft. and both use concrete towers and a concrete deck. The concrete alternative uses 6,000-psi concrete precast segments that consist of edge beams, floor beams, stringers, and a deck slab. The steel alternative uses welded I-shaped edge girders, steel stringers, and floor beams, and a deck composed of precast, full-width, full-thickness slab panels that are posttensioned longitudinally in erection lengths (comparable to the cable spacing) and are then made composite with the stringers and main girders.
