Prefab bridge takes long ride
Cable-stayed bridge will be fabricated into components in England and transported via sea, rail, and road to Luangwa River, tributary of River Zambesi, for erection; engineers ruled out reinforced or prestressed concrete for new span because of relatively advanced onsite construction techniques required; instead they chose steel-stayed girder bridge, which is to be fabricated in sections weighing less than 8 tons with no external gussets that could be damaged in transit; two cables in asymmetrical arrangement will anchor to each tower column and support deck; cables will be prestressed, cut to length and socketed by fabricators in England.
