Brad Prince was the Peter Kiewit Sons/MMM Group Design Manager for this $198 Million Design-Build project, which consisted of a new 500 m long, eight-lane bridge crossing of the Pitt River, with a centre cable-stay bridge span of 190 m, and a new interchange at the Mary Hill Bypass and Lougheed Highway. The interchange included two overpass bridge structures, retaining walls, and engineered lightweight fill embankments to control settlements at this soft-soil site.
The 92-person design team included geotechnical, seismic, hydrotechnical, vessel impact, electrical, structural, drainage, and road design engineers; environmental specialists; and navigational planners. This project won a Consulting Engineers of B.C. Award of Merit for design innovation.
