The Selmon West Extension in Tampa, Fla., is the focus of the Project article on page 12 and the Concrete Bridge
Technology article on page 44. The segmental concrete structure is creative in its style and used a progressive spanby-
span erection technique. This link provides access to a presentation on the project given at the American Segmental
Bridge Institute’s (ASBI’s) Fall 2021 Convention. The video presentation includes an animation of the erection of the
precast concrete box segments using specialized equipment.

The Project article on page 22 features the replacement of the superstructure of the California State Route 99 over
21st Avenue Bridge in Sacramento County. The bridge could only be closed for a short period due to heavy commuter
and industrial traffic, so the demolition and removal of the superstructure was completed in 18 hours. This is a link to
a video of the removal of the last girder. The new bridge was reconstructed with 35 precast, prestressed concrete box girders.

Slag cement was a key component in the rehabilitation of the Lake Tillery Bridge, a historic arch bridge in North
Carolina featured in both a Project article (page 18) and a Creative Concrete Construction article (page 53). This is a
link to a web page with details of the slag cement mixture and the rehabilitation, as well as additional photos.
