    The document summarizes the Brazos River Bridges Project in Waco, Texas, which included constructing two new extradosed bridges over the Brazos River along IH-35 to improve traffic flow. The project was awarded to Lane Construction and involved installing drilled shafts, constructing pylons and edge girders with stays, and pouring the concrete deck in phases. The bridges opened in July 2014 and improved access to the new McLane Stadium in Waco.

    The document discusses the construction of new extradosed bridges along IH 35 over the Brazos River in Waco, Texas. Extradosed bridges are a hybrid of girder and cable-stayed bridges that help share loads. They are being used for this project due to benefits like lower live load stresses in the stays.

    Four extradosed bridges are being constructed for IH 35 over the Brazos River. Extradosed bridges combine elements of girder and cable-stayed bridges, with loads shared between the girder and stays. The stays on these bridges act more like pre-stressing than vertical support.

    Extradosed bridges were chosen for benefits like lower live load stress ranges in the stays compared to cable-stayed bridges. They also have longer spans than girder bridges alone. The 'extradosed' term refers to external post-tensioning tendons placed above the deck to differentiate them from cable-stays.

    What is an Extradosed Bridge?
    Hybrid structure that combines elements of a girder bridge with
    a cable-stayed bridge.
    Loads shared between girder and stays.
    Stays act more as pre-stressing rather than vertical support.

    Why Extradosed?

    Derived from the Latin word extra meaning outside and the
    French word dos for back. Thus, extradosed means out of
    the back.

    Or

    Extrados is defined as the exterior or uppermost surface of an


    arch. Since the original concept was for external PT tendons
    placed above the deck, to differentiate these shallow external
    tendons from cable-stays they were termed extradosed as they
    defined the uppermost surface of the bridge.
