Description
Final design and construction Cuscatlan Bridge, as part of CA-1 Panamerican Highway (section Estanzuelas-Sam Lldifonso)
The Cuscatlan Bridge is a double-carriageway prestressed concrete viaducto of 397 m long, with 5 spans and concrete pile foundations of 1.5 m diameter. The project also included the construction of two access roads, respectively 900 and 2,500 m long.
The bridge was erected with an overslung launching girder, using the balanced cantilever method. Construction included excavation and consolidation of riverbanks, pile driving, metal sheet piling, post-tensioning, road paving with bitumen, and installation of electrical lighting systems.
Because the Bridge is located on one of the country’s main roads , the Pan-American Highway , the indirect beneficiaries are more than 7 million, since all of Central America passes through this road .
