| 摘要： | The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway features two bridges that span nearly 24 miles over water. The bridges, which were built in 1956 and 1969, are among the longest overwater bridges built in their time. And because they don't have shoulders, when accidents occur, traffic on the bridges comes to a halt. As traffic in the region grew, the bridges were seeing 8 to 12 breakdowns daily, and 180 crashes per year, many of them rear-end collisions, says Christopher White, senior bridge engineer for Volkert. To improve safety and traffic flow, the owners wanted to add safety bay shoulders up and down both bridges to support stranded vehicles. |
