| Abstract: |
The Gordie Howe International Bridge, crossing the Detroit River between Windsor (Canada) and Detroit (USA), will be the longest main span cable stayed bridge in North America with an 853 m / 2800 feet main span and the longest main span cable stayed composite deck bridge in the world. This paper provides a general overview and design features including foundation, tower, piers and superstructure and erection. It will highlight design challenges including aerodynamics, stay cable design, redundancy and durability. |
