Guidelines
RAIL
TRAFFIC: regardless of the construction methodology you
choose, this bridge must
be “buildable” with
NO disruption of rail service.
BRIDGE
DESIGN: for the purposes of this charette, your bridge
design should be “buildable” for
$10 million or less.
i)
Type: cable-stayed, suspension, arch, girder, hybrid or
even an inspired version of the box truss. It’s up
to you as long as it can be built within the budget with
no disruption of rail service. Your design can be clear
span or you can take
advantage
of the proposed supporting pier in the existing plans.
End users
are pedestrians and cyclists
ii) Special requirements: the bridge deck must be partially
or completely enclosed (glazing, screens etc.) to prevent
access to the rail corridor.
iii)
Key Opportunity - On-site assembly: on the south side of
the corridor, just west
of the proposed location
is
a vacant parcel of land more than 175 metres wide (future
site
housing site).
