Pre-stressed concrete is an ideal material for beam bridge construction; the concrete withstands the forces of compression well and the steel rods imbedded within resist the forces of tension.

Passenger overhead bridges at several Railway stations on ... concern about the imminent danger of a nasty accident if a concrete beam collapsed due to vibrations caused by express trains ...

"With the beams now in place, we can focus on the next part of this complex multi-stage project – pouring the concrete deck ready for the road to be moved onto the new bridge early next year." ...

The project consists of the replacement of an existing single-span, reinforced concrete T-beam superstructure originally constructed in 1931.
