2 Innovative Design Features: Lightweight truss: The principles of lightweight design led to a saving of 25% in the use of structural steel. State of the art deck system: Designed as a four-way slab, it cuts the concrete mass by 30% and eliminates the need for pre-stressing. Longest joint-less bridge in North America: The articulation scheme allows a continuous deck for the entire length of the superstructure, which eliminated the need for two modular deck joints on the 1045m long bridge. Lock Up Devices: The articulation scheme involves the use of modern lock-up devices, which act like shock absorbers to allow slow acting movements while restraining sudden force effects. Compact Locked Coil Cables: Cables are slender with compact anchorage details. The locations of the cable anchorages were selected for improved structural and aesthetic behaviour. The simplified anchorages can be easily inspected and maintained. Constructability: Design of the bridge incorporates a proven construction scheme that includes the launching of the trusses, and a one step stressing procedure for the cables. Low life cycle cost: The design pays special attention to long term durability, corrosion protection and provides easy access for inspection and maintenance with the ultimate goal of keeping the life cycle cost of the bridge to a minimum.

4 How the Deh Cho Bridge Deals With Ice The cross section of the piers at water level is cylindrical in shape and the faces of the cylinder are sloped inward. This forces ice to break apart as it rides up the slope. The concrete piers have steel armoured plating to protect them during river break up. Scour rock provides protections to the pier from both ice and rushing water.
