Abstract:

Planning, design, construction, and maintenance issues are presented for the proposed second high-level Blue Water Bridge, which crosses the St. Clair River between Port Huron, Michigan, and Point Edward, Ontario, Canada. The bridge design meets the requirements of AASHTO load resistance factor design specifications as well as the "Ontario Highway Bridge Design Code". The construction plans are prepared in metric (SI) units. Main spans are a continuous tied arch bridge. The fracture-critical tie girder is fully bolted (no welding is allowed) to improve redundancy. The empirical design method is used to design the reinforced concrete deck. Approach spans are predominantly prestressed concrete I- or box beams with a reinforced concrete bridge deck.
