Rapid industrialization has brought both economic opportunities and infrastructure challenges to the people of Honduras, Central America. A 15 ha (37 acre) industrial park was recently developed south of the major Honduran city of San Pedro Sula, a rapidly growing municipality with a population of over 900,000 citizens. Workers commuting via public transit to the industrial park had no alternative but to make the hazardous crossing of a busy six-lane highway on foot. Construction of a two-span cable-stayed, precast, prestressed concrete bridge, in a very narrow right-of-way, provided a practical and beautiful solution for ensuring the safe passage of Buena Vista Industrial Park employees.
