Project 6
Design & detailing of steel bridge located in Al-Hasa, Eastern Province , Saudi Arabia.
The bridge has a total length of 1,525 ft. It consists of an arc construction with a span of 577 ft and trestle
bridges on both sides with individual lengths of 98 and 147 ft, which are supported on roller bearings on
truss pillars. There is a lane on top designed as open girder grillage; on the lane is a two-tier railroad track
superstructure.
