Abstract:

The U.S. Navy wanted to expand operations at Pearl Harbor, which required a bridge from Oahu to nearby Ford Island. The bridge spans more than 4,000 ft, and combines a fixed bridge and floating bridge. The pontoon section moves 760 ft, more than half its length, to create an opening large enough for aircraft carriers to pass.
