Chicago’s First Tied-Arch Bridge
The distinguishing characteristics of a tied-arch bridge have long been regarded as an elegant solution for the long-span crossing. The successfully completed 47.9 m (157 ft) long and 24.4 m (80 ft) wide parabolically shaped Halsted Street Bridge over the Chicago River North Branch Canal demonstrates that a short-span tied-arch bridge can be done economically with attention to the steel details that accommodates both constructability and durability. The thoughtful steel detailing also ensures sufficient design redundancy and improves cost competitiveness.
