Gateway to a Getaway
The more than 14 million vacationers who travel each year to and from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, can now enjoy improved traffic flow across the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway on their way to the ocean thanks to a five-lane, 1,800 ft crossing that is enticingly known as the Fantasy Harbour Bridge. Although the steel option was ultimately constructed, the concrete option pushed the design boundaries for spliced girders, and the bridge designers overcame numerous challenges, including very soft soils in an area of high seismic activity.
