Surveys for the Lake Pontchartrain Bridge
The overall survey control for the Lake Pontchartrain Bridge, having a length of some 24 mi over open water, presented challenging problems both before and during construction. The control measures used prior to construction consisted of triangulation in one form or another. Alignment and stationing during construction were attained through the use of towers, repetitive measurements, ingeniously designed templates, and other adjustable positioning devices.
