Abstract

The new Samuel De Champlain Bridge Project (the “Project”) is one of the largest crossings in NorthAmerica. The signature span is an asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge featuring a 240 m main span overthe St. Lawrence Seaway.

The design-build team made innovative use of precast concrete, modular segments,and erection sequencing to meet the Project timeline, while overcoming the site-specific hazards andsevere winters unique to Montréal.
