• Abstract:
  The construction of a new bridge ; crossing the Mississippi River north of ; Baton Rouge is currently underway. The ; project, named the John James ; Audubon Bridge, is a true landmark. Its ; main span will be the longest cablestayed ; bridge in North America. ; Furthermore, its approach spans will ; utilize a new continuity detail that has ; not yet been tried in Louisiana. The ; new detail addresses the development ; of positive moments in joints with ; continuity diaphragms and is based on ; the recommendations of NCHRP Project ; 12-53. Project 12-53 concluded in ; August 2003, and its findings were ; summarized in Report 519 (Miller et ; al. 2004).
