In July of 2006, the Texas Transportation
Commission gave approval for a 4-year, $153
million project to ease Texarkana's traffic
congestion along Interstate Highway 30 and
intersecting highways.
Symons also proposed using a combination of
Max-A-Form® for the large areas on the pier
caps and Steel-Ply® on the “ear wall” details.
Most contractors use wood forms or come
back later in a separate operation and Austin
Bridge and Road knew that those methods
slowed them down. They immediately recognized
the value of this simplified plan.
