The width of the arch is 15 m and the width of the deck varies between 25 m and 41 m. This is a unique mode of construction, building the arch using a cantilever design, together with the piers and the deck, provisionally triangulating the structure with cables and driving the stress toward both abutments, which in turn are anchored to the ground with rock anchors.
The Windsor-Essex Parkway project is part of the proposed plan to connect Highway 401 in Ontario to Interstate 75 in Michigan, by way of a new Canadian inspection plaza and bridge crossing being constructed by the Federal Government in West Windsor.
In September of 2008, ACCIONA was contracted by Quebec’s Ministry of Transport to design, finance, build, operate and maintain the new Autoroute 30 (A30 Express) toll road along Montreal’s south shore. The completed A30 was opened to traffic on December 2012.
