CON/SPAN O-Series Serve as Land Bridges at New Park
 

Two sets of twin cell CON/SPAN® O-Series® Bridge Systems serve as "land bridges" that connect Tulsa's new 66.5-acre park. This precast option was selected over cast-in-place for its cost savings, speed of installation and quality control. After the units were installed via crane, the bridges were covered with up to 14 feet of fill, as well as trees, landscaping and park structures. Each CON/SPAN cell is wide enough to accommodate two lanes of traffic.
