Lancaster, California
The creation of the Promenade at Amargosa Creek - a 545,000 square foot development project comprised of stores, restaurants and medical center - created the need for an underground conveyance channel that would be easy to maintain, not erode, provide for infiltration into local watersheds and provide for a buildable site. A SUPER-SPAN™ plate structure was utilized for the majority of the channel alignment while a precast CON/SPAN^® Bridge System was required to support building loads for the medical center. ArmorFlex^® articulating concrete blocks were also used to allow for stormwater runoff to infiltrate and provide scour protection.

Lutsen, Minnesota
The USDA Forest Service required an environmental solution with an open bottom to replace an undersized, deteriorating structure crossing Poplar River. The clear span allowed trout access for migration, ensured that the river remained clear of debris and also provided minimal disturbance to the surrounding environment. A 36 x 10 ft CON/SPAN® Bridge System, including precast headwalls and wingwalls, fit the requirements and was chosen.

Dedham, Massachusetts
After five years of planning, Legacy Place - a 675,000 square foot open-air shopping, dining and entertainment center - opened to the public. A Continental® Gateway® style truss bridge was chosen to connect the parking garage to the movie cinema. The skywalk structure was designed with a roof system and open sides to be later glass-enclosed and a curved section to accommodate the difference in floor elevations of the two buildings.
