DESCRIPTION

Baywest Bridge
36′ Span x 10′ Rise Arch Box

The City of Horseshoe Bay, Texas, replaced a low-water crossing with a 36′ twin-span arch box from ECO-SPAN®. The new bridge is a major improvement for several reasons: driver safety in severe weather, elimination of icy, wet tires in cold weather, golf carts passage under the road between holes, and consistent emergency vehicle access.

The field-placed limestone veneer on the precast concrete headwalls, wingwalls and parapets matches the finish of nearby structures, adding aesthetic appeal.
