SIX BRIDGES CITED IN CONTEST

The six winners of the Portland Cement Association's 1988 Concrete Bridge Awards Program are described. The Bow River Bridge, Calgary, Alberta, Canada meets two transportation needs within a single structure: a pedestrian bridge and a light-rail bridge with an unusual inverted box girder design. The Ingraham Street Bridge, San Diego's 1,200-feet bridge, a major traffic corridor in an environmentally sensitive area, posed several design challenges. The Interstate 85/285 Interchange, Georgia, is a complex of 19 bridges and several miles of ramps. Linn Cove Viaduct, North Carolina is 1,250-foot, has S curves, and is designed to be environmentaly unobtrusive. Ocean County Plaza Bridge, New Jersey's 115-foot structure was installed in 1 1/2 days; its box culvert structure meets growing demand for bridge replacement. Tampico Bridge, Mexico, a major traffic artery, is an exellent example of long-span cable-stayed design.
