Design of the Canada Line Extradosed Bridge

This paper will discuss how TransLink procured the new Canada Line rapid transit system that connected Richmond, the Vancouver International Airport, and downtown Vancouver in 2005. The paper discusses how the line is scheduled for completion in 2009. An extradosed precast segmental box girder bridge was designed for the longest span on the Line, which crosses the Fraser River North Arm. The North Arm Bridge which carries two rail tracks and a suspended walkway/bikeway is 562 meters long with extradosed 180 meter main span and 139 meter side spans and 52 meter transition spans.
