Abstract:
The Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway is an elevated, reversible-lane highway that eases traffic congestion for commuters between the cities of Tampa and Brandon, FL. Included in the project are two, at-grade roadway sections and three, segmental concrete box girder bridges. This article describes the challenges faced by engineers during design of construction equipment for the bridges.
