LONG-SPAN BRIDGE: UTILITY, GRACE AT LOW COST

The Hegenberger expressway overhead in Oakland, California constructed of post-tensioned concrete, is described. The span features the use of precast-concrete pans for the deck and Y-shaped piers for support. The pans create a "waffle" appearance on its underside. The gentle inclination of the "Y" arms add architectural interest. The cost compares favorably with bridges of lesser spans.
