Longhorn Bridge Keeps Austin Weird
Valmont was put to the test to continue the tradition of the Austin, TX motto, “Keeping Austin Weird,” with a project for the I-35 bridge. The project consisted of custom designed under-pass LED lighting structures spanning 200 feet to replicate the Texas Longhorn look. Thanks to our extensive engineering resources and manufacturing capabilities, we were able to bring this design to life.
All 14 structures had slightly different clearance and foundation requirements, yet all 14 of the structures needed to match and line up. By galvanizing the structures, Valmont gave the structures an improved resistance to corrosion. Finally, when the parts had been completed, Valmont trial fit and took final measurements of the total assembly prior to shipping. This ensured an issue-free, timely assembly and erection of these massive structures. As you can see by looking at the photos – the structures ran through two of our shops and required special high tech equipment – again proving that Valmont was the only choice!
