Recognizing this a two-lane single-span precast box girder bridge was constructed in 2007 overa stream. The bridge\ue2\u20ac\u2122s precast elements included precast cap beams and precast box girders. Precast element fabrication and bridgeconstruction were observed, two precast box girders were tested in the laboratory, and the completed bridge was field tested in 2007 and2008
