A Review on Port Mann Bridge
Keywords:
Port Mann bridge, metropolitan city, cable stayed bridgeAbstract
This paper shows that, it carries 10 lanes of traffic with space reserved for a light rail line. In order to connect Coquitlam and Surrey in British Columbia, a steel arch bridge that crossed the Fraser River and was part of the Vancouver metropolitan region, was replaced by a cable-stayed bridge. The previous bridge was destroyed through reverse construction, a procedure that took three years to complete, after its replacement was made accessible to traffic. At 2 km long and featuring a 470-m-long main span and 52-m-wide deck, the Port Mann Bridge is currently the second longest cable-stayed bridge in North America and one of the widest bridges in the world.
