Abstract
Design and construction of a new 2-mile bridge across the Houston Ship Channel to alleviate traffic congestion in the highly industrialized channel corridor where only one of the four existing channel crossings does not restrict vehicle size or type of cargo was discussed. Based on the considerations of maintenance, construction feasibility, and construction scheduling, it was recommended that the prestressed concrete segmental box girder be used for the main channel spans
