WHAT HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED:
The New Benicia-Martinez Bridge crossing the San Pablo Bay included more than 7,000-feet of bridge built by cast-in-place segmental construction. It is of post-tensioned light weight concrete. Bridge deck is more than 83 feet wide. Typical span lengths are 161 m (528 feet) with 201 m (659 feet) at the navigation channel. Seismic design was for important and lifeline structures.
JMEC has been structural consultant from preliminary engineering to the end of construction, and has completed the following:
