General contractors WW Clyde of Springville UT, recently completed the Cheyenne South Valley Connector in Pocatello ID. The project comprised a new two-lane roadway connecting the east and west sides of Pocatello. The roadway's main feature is a 430 ft (131 m) long bridge that traverses the Portneuf River, six sets of active railroad tracks, the town's South 2nd Avenue, and several bike and pedestrian paths. ACH Foam Technologies' Foam-Control EPS Geofoam, a high-strength expanded polystyrene foam product frequently used as a lightweight structural fill on geotechnical projects, was used to create the formwork required to shape the bridge's concrete piers. The finished blocks were delivered to the site, ready to be clamped into conventional wall formwork. Concrete was placed from the top of each form.
