Delaware Department of Transportation in the USA has picked three teams with cable-stayed bridge experience to compete for the US$130 million design and construction of a bridge over the Indian River Inlet.
The three are:
* Kiewit Corporation (lead partner), Billfinger Berger and URS Corporation;
* PCL Civil Constructors and Buckland & Taylor;
* Walsh Northeast Corporation, Traylor Bros and HNTB Corporation.
Proposals with preliminary designs and costings will be developed over the coming months and the winner will be chosen early in 2007. The new bridge will have a main span of more than 300m to avoid the erosion problems caused by the current bridge's river piers.
For more than 31 years, Bridge Design & Engineering has been a trusted source of new insights, knowledge, and connections for the global bridge community. With the rapid shifts in the publishing landscape and increasing costs, sustaining the printed magazine at the high level of quality our readers expect has become increasingly challenging. After careful consideration, Hemming Group Ltd has made the difficult decision to discontinue the print publication.
You will continue to have full access to the Bridge Design and Engineering website - including the complete archive. Although the site will no longer be updated, the archive remains a rich resource of engineering knowledge and project insight. You can also continue to access the Bridge Directory, IBIG, through the website or directly at: https://www.bdeibig.com/
While this marks the end of an era, it also opens a new chapter, one focused on strengthening the connections, collaboration, and technical excellence that our community thrives on. Our energy and investment will now be directed toward expanding and enhancing our industry leading events that bring the bridge community together.
Our flagship events Bridges and Bridges Scotland will continue to thrive as essential annual gatherings for bridge owners, managers, designers, engineers, and suppliers. These events play a vital role in sharing innovation, showcasing best practice and emerging technologies, and fostering meaningful collaboration across the industry. We are excited to build on their success and will further develop these events in the years ahead.
