Characteristics of an Extradosed Bridge
• Shorter tower than cable stayed
• Shallower girder than a girder bridge, but deeper than a
cable stayed bridge
• Flatter cables than a cable stayed bridge, and only over
a portion of the span.
• Cables sized to prestress the deck
• Low fatigue ranges for cables
• Uniform size range for cables

Why an Extradosed Bridge for the PHMB?• Longer Span Desired for Navigation
• Tower Height Restricted by Tweed Airport
• Girder Depth and Profile Controlled by Adjacent Interchange
• Economical Bridge Desired
• Bridge Worthy of Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge Designation wasDesired
