Featured Steel Bridge Project
Lake Bridges Over Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley
Opened to traffic in 2018, the new U.S. 68/KY 80 Bridges replaced two narrow 20-foot-wide 1930's era truss bridges. The main spans over each of the navigable waterways with substantial barge traffic feature a unique, basket-handled tied arch superstructure with steel plate girder approaches.
Featured Historic Steel Bridge
Homestead Grays Bridge
While downtown Pittsburgh is known for iconic long-span steel bridges, there are several impressive and treasured long-span river crossings outside of the downtown area as well, such as the Homestead Grays Bridge--a high-level steel bridge nearly 100 feet above the Monongahela River.
Steel Span to Weight Curves
Need a quick estimate for steel bridge superstructure weight? Then look no further than the NSBA's "Steel Span To Weight Curves". They are a great way to compare various span arrangements and girder spacings on the back-of-an-envelope.
Steel Bridge Design Workshop
Thanks for making our Virtual Steel Bridge Design Workshop a great success! Video recordings and handouts from each of the sessions are now available.
