The World's First Precast Network-Arch Bridge

Currently under construction in Fort Worth, Texas by Sundt Construction.  The bridge is a series of 12 post-tensioned concrete arches, six on each side, which are the main structural elements.  Each arch is 163 feet long and over 23 feet tall.  While the new bridge will remain with four traffic lanes, it will be much wider to incorporate lanes outside the arches for pedestrians and cyclists.

The plan calls for building the precast arches off-site, with expected total bridge closure time of no more than 150 days.
