ALL HANDS ON DECK

Abstract

Canada's Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver is in the process of undergoing a $63.4 million refurbishment project; the contract was awarded in April 1999 and completion is anticipated in December 2001. The article reviews the progress of the deck replacement of this major suspension bridge. The work essentially involves the replacement of the entire suspended structure, stiffening truss, sidewalk, and hangers during strictly limited number of night time closures.
