Sterling Creek Bridge

Location

British Columbia

Project Description

Due to environmental restrictions, this single 67m span, three-plate, skewed girder bridge was launched over this salmon spawning stream.

A six-legged bent was positioned adjacent to the stream carrying 150-ton capacity rockers, each with two 75-ton rollers. A 20-metre long temporary nose was used with the pulling beam attached to it.

The bridge was pulled across the gap by a winch at bearing level since the abutment back-walls were not yet poured.
