    Span is the first bridge in the United States to accept Composite Advantage FiberSPAN prefabricated, plug-and-play FRP tee stiffeners

    The eight-mile specification calls for a load deflection of L/800, a deck depth of 5.
    5 inches, a panel depth of 22 inches and a panel weight of 26 psf

    Composite Advantage President Scott Reeve said:

    “We found no signs of surface water or salt leakage from the FRP deck penetrating the panel seams
