Abstract:
The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Bridge is being constructed as part of the SR-1 Project connecting the I-95 to the existing Route 1 at Dover. The precast concrete segmental bridge has a total length of 4650 ft and crosses the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal with a cable-stayed main span that is 750 ft long. The paper presents some of the design and construction techniques used for the cable-stayed main span crossing.
