Fort Miller Precast is proud to announce that our work on the Schuylkill River Bridge Trail in Philadelphia has been recognized by the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) with two significant honors:
- Special Award: Structural Innovation
- Transportation Award: Bridge with a Main Span More Than 201 Feet
This project features a striking cable-stayed pedestrian bridge with twin pylons and innovative precast components, including curved U girders, bulb tees, and precast deck slabs. These elements allowed for precise fabrication, accelerated installation, and minimized environmental impact—all while delivering a durable, efficient connection between Christian Street and Greys Ferry Crescent.
