Abstract
This paper presents the planning, type selection design and construction of the Pier 400 Transportation Corridor Bridge No. 1 (TC Bridge No. 1). The bridge was part of the overall Port of Los Angeles Pier 400 development project. Pier 400 is an approximately 221-hectare (545-acre) landfill that was completed this year. An approximately 2,133.6-meter (7,000') transportation corridor accesses Pier 400. There is a 117.348-meter (385') gap in the transportation corridor that provides circulation between the surrounding basins. This gap must be spanned by bridge structures to permit access.to Pier 400. This paper will focus on the first structure to span the gap, TC Bridge No. 1. TC Bridge No. 1 is a two-lane concrete structure design to carry heavy truck loading.
