- Abstract:
Cable‐stayed bridges are becoming increasingly popular in the United States. However, the lack of experience in cable‐stayed bridge construction may lead to unsuccessful projects including cost overruns and schedule delays. In light of these potential problems, a need exists to document the methods of construction used in past cable‐stayed bridge projects. This paper documents the construction of the Burlington Cable‐Stayed Bridge. Throughout the paper, issues regarding constructability and innovation are highlighted. Interviewed project participants agreed that this project was successful. The success is measured by the ability of contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, and inspectors to deliver a project on time and within budget. This case study describes the general characteristics of the project, significant construction methods and techniques, and factors contributing to project success.
