TESLIN RIVER BRIDGE
Location:Johnson's Crossing, Yukon, Canada Description:The two lane steel deck truss bridge is the second longest bridge on the Alaska Highway, which runs for more than 1000 miles through British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska. Total length including approach spans: 447 m (1466 ft.)
Owner and Client:Yukon Territorial Government Scope of Work:Buckland & Taylor Ltd. studied this riveted structure in 1991 as part of an evaluation of 31 bridges in the Yukon Territory. The evaluation included a review of its seismic capacity. The evaluation techniques used were state-of-the-art and were prepared by Buckland & Taylor Ltd. for insertion into the Canadian Bridge Design Code. In 1992, the Company completed a more detailed study with a view to replacing and widening the deck (thus adding mass) and bringing the bridge up to modern seismic standards. In late 1994, the Company was commissioned to provide plans and specifications for widening of the deck, increasing the traffic load carrying capacity and providing full seismic retrofit. Due to budget constraints, this work was stopped prior to completion.
