The Megaplaza Interchange comprises two 131-ft-long (40 m) single-span bridges in an eastern suburb of San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The design used precast, prestressed concrete girders to construct the ridges over the 131 ft (40 m) span. A new design concept consisting of precast concrete folded-plate abutments was used. The precast, prestressed concrete girders required only a transport truck and two cranes to erect each 68 ton (62 Mg) girder. In this paper, the authors present the design and construction highlights of the project.
