The Mill Street Crossing in Epping, NH clearly demonstrates some of the amazing
capabilities that precast concrete bridge construction affords. Literally built
in only 8 days in August 2004, the 115 single span bridge was constructed solely
with precast concrete components, which enabled it to be completed in such a remarkably
short period of time compared to the four to six months that a project of this nature
would typically take to finish. It is also the reason it was awarded the
2005 PCI Best All-Precast Solution and the 2005 Best
Medium Span Bridge awards.
