Obed Bridges
AZST fabricated six vehicular bridges to Navajo County for installation over the Little Colorado River. The weathering steel bridges, part of a $1.8 million rehabilitation project, span 500 feet in length, nine feet tall, 16-1/2 feet across and weigh 425,000 pounds.
Cheyenne Bridge
Arizona Structure Technologies fabricated three pedestrian bridges over Cheyenne Avenue, Lake Mead Boulevard and Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas, Nevada. The project was completed for Martin Harris Construction Las Vegas.
Rio Vista Bridge
On Thursday, November 8, Arizona Structure Technologies (AZST) installed its latest fabrication creation to Peoria’s Rio Vista Park.
The Rio Vista Park New River Pedestrian Bridge, with a total length of 334 feet, 11 inches, was built for Haydon Building Corp.
The bridge, which is more than 220,000 pounds, had to be moved in three sections, each sections weighing over 73,000 pounds. Once transported, cranes lifted the giant sections from trucks for assembly in Peoria.
Basket Bridge
As part of a $1 million contract, Arizona Structure Technologies fabricated a 125-foot-long, 8-foot-wide bicycle/pedestrian bridge for the Euclid Avenue-Park Avenue Bicycle Pedestrian Overpass project for Granite Construction Company. The pedestrian bridge is the largest ever constructed in Arizona.

Grasshopper Bridge
As part of a project for the City of Phoenix, Arizona Structure Technologies fabricated a unique pedestrian bridge in the shape of two giant grasshoppers. The bridge, which is 211 feet long, 13 feet wide and approximately 22 feet tall, features horizontal safety rails and is designed to handle live loads of 60 pounds per square foot and a concentrated load of 10,000 pounds plus 30 percent impact. Each bridge was constructed and transported to its Phoenix destination in two, 90-foot pieces. The two heads are separate.
Mountain Pass Pedestrian Bridge
The jagged silhouette of the Piestewa Peak mountain range served as the template for an artistic pedestrian bridge built over SR 51 in metropolitan Phoenix in 1997.
The joint City of Phoenix/Arizona Department of Transportation project was designed by artist Laurie Lundquist in conjunction with SVR Inc. and HDR Engineers and fabricated by Arizona Structure Technologies, Inc. Each unique peak in the bridge design was individually detailed and fabricated using rolled galvanized pipe.
Arizona Structure Technologies installed the bridge’s chain link fence over the framework and shipped it in sections consisting of three cells or less to the jobsite. The bridge, which is 300 feet long and 16 feet tall, is a highly prominent, recognized part of the Phoenix skyline.
Multi-Use Pedestrian Steel Bridge
Arizona Structure Technologies, Inc. built a 124-foot-long, 15-foot-wide, 14-foot-tall combination pedestrian/utility bridge for the Arizona Department of Transportation and the City of Scottsdale. It supports a 24-inch water main underneath its concrete deck. The bridge, which features Omega fencing on its trusses for safety, was installed over Via Linda west of Loop 101 near the Silverado Pump Station in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Rio Grande Crossing Bridge
For the City of Albuquerque, NM, AZST fabricated 10 pre-engineered bridge spans that ranged from 32 feet to 128 feet long by 12 feet wide, with chord heights ranging from 8 feet to 12 feet. The project was constructed at the I-40 Trail and Rio Grande Crossing for A.S. Horner, Inc. of Albuquerque.
