The problem: how to cross a wide navigable river beneath an airport’s flight path given the fact that a cable-stayed bridge would be too tall and a concrete box girder bridge too deep. The solution: an extradosed bridge—a hybrid of the two bridge forms that features shorter towers and shorter girder profiles. The new bridge, in Vancouver, British Columbia, is the first extradosed bridge to be completed in North America.
