Description
Description | The Mosquito Road Bridge is a 1,200-ft.-long cast-in-place balanced cantilever bridge standing 400 ft. above the South Fork of the American River gorge in the Sierra Nevada foothills.

It aims to meet modern transportation needs, support tourism, and improve emergency access. Unique construction techniques include segmental construction with modular traveling formwork and a remote batch plant for concrete supply due to the remote location. |
