Slide-in Bridge Construction
Big Picture
Slide-in Bridge Construction is one method used to deploy Accelerated Bridge Construction. It is important to select the right construction method for a given set of project constraints. The resources on this page provide insight into selecting "the right tool for the job". Several of these resources were developed for other ABC construction methods, however many of the big picture issues that need to be considered are universal regardless of which ABC method is selected for a given site.
