Project Spotlight: Precast concrete arches meet demands of Canadian bridge project

Abstract

Designing and constructing three bridges along Warden Avenue in Markham, ON, Canada, involved a lot of work and cooperation among a lot of contractors and other companies. The project was so successful that it won a 2015 PCI Design Award for Best Bridge with a Main Span Up to 75 Feet. The decision was made to use high-performance precast concrete arch structures on all three of the bridges. Graham Bros. Construction Limited selected Armtec LP of Concord, ON, Canada, for the precast concrete work, and BEBO arches were chosen as the best solution for the bridges.
