The Needles Bridge project in British Columbia aimed to design a long bridge over Arrow Lake. The team used a unique approach to manage risks and challenges, focusing on optimizing the bridge's shape and structure. By combining different survey data, they minimized pier heights and positioned the bridge efficiently. They also integrated geotechnical and structural requirements early on, considering the lake's water level fluctuations. The final design successfully blends geometric, geotechnical, and structural expertise, resulting in a cost-effective alternative to the existing ferry service.
