Gold Hard Hat Award
Maroon Creek Bridge
Submitted by BTE/Atkinson JV
The Highway 82 Maroon Creek Bridge in Aspen is a 670-ft-long, single-cell, cast-in-place balanced cantilever concrete bridge with three spans: 170 ft, 270 ft and 170 ft. The bridge deck is 73 ft wide to accommodate two traffic lanes, two bus lanes and a 12-ft-wide pedestrian/bicycle path. The bridge deck is about 114 ft above Maroon Creek.
The cast-in-place balanced cantilever design was chosen to minimize impact to the environmentally sensitive Maroon Creek Wetlands, which had been restored from previous construction by the city of Aspen. |
