1. Bridges over freeways built in 45 days
2. Project constructed in less than four months
3. Minimize work on and over freeways
4. Project costs less than traditional staged construction

How will we do it?
Prefab most components in advance
Super Module units
Superior materials like UHPC
Partnering with Designer and Contractor
