Bridge Made of Industrialised Segments 

Hiram Bridge was built by the balanced cantilever method - construction and assembly of the bridge using industrialised concrete elements of various sizes, obviating the need for mould creation and metalwork in the building site area. The industrialised elements were manufactured at the Ashcrete plant in Ashdod by the short production line technique and were assembled on site using a dedicated gantry crane - a raising and lifting device for particularly heavy loads.

The bridge was built of two box sections, one per traffic direction. The northern bridge is 251.3 m. long and contains 6 spans up to a maximum length of 56.36 metres. The bridge is 12.1 metres wide with an area of 3,041 sq.m. The dimensions of the prefabricated section are 5.1 metres - the bottom width of the box section, by 2.4 metres - the height of the box section. The southern bridge is 255.71 metres long and  contains 7 spans up to a maximum length of 50.71 metres. The bridge is 13.7 metres wide with an area of 3,503 sq.m. The dimensions of the prefabricated segments are identical to those of the northern bridge.
