PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Judge's comment: The judges were impressed by the modular nature of the bridge which was both ideally suited to its marine location and conducive to producing high quality finishes through offsite fabrication. In particular, the bridge steelwork was fabricated in three large sections that were delivered to the site by sea on barges and the piers were constructed as precast concrete shells that were lowered into the sea over the foundation piles.
