SKY TRAIN PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE 40th STEET STATION

Phoenix, Arizona

Owner: City of Phoenix, Aviation Department

Engineer: Gannett Fleming, Inc.

General Contractor: Hensel Phelps Construction Company

"The installation of the 125'+ long girders required extensive

logistical planning. Coreslab coordinated the operation including;

special transports with steerable dollies, temporary transportation

routes, special 500 ton cranes, and the passing of girders from one

crane to another crane to set the girders over the SRP canal without

incident."
