The development of an innovative method to manage traffic detours for highway construction projects located adjacent to waterways presents an interesting challenge. One proposed method involves detouring traffic over a floating structure. In order to establish the feasibility of constructing a floating structure, design criteria were established and a case study area was identified. Three alternatives were developed as potential systems for the floating detour structure and advanced to conceptual design level. A comparison quantifying the various advantages, disadvantages and factors associated with each alternative was made and recommendations were formulated.
