About this project

The Sam White Bridge is a reinforced concrete and steel overpass beam bridge which crosses Interstate 15 in American Fork, Utah.
The bridge has an underpass clearance of 17 feet 3 inches (5.26 m), which exceeds the minimum standard for interstate bridges in the United States
The bridge has two 12-ft-wide traffic lanes in each direction, a 14-ft-wide turn lane, and a 12-ft-wide shoulder and 6-ft-wide sidewalk on each side
The 354-foot, 3.82-million-pound (1.73-million-kg, 1910-short-ton, 1733-tonne) bridge was built on the side of the interstate—500 feet (150 m) from its final location—in order to reduce traffic impact.
It was then moved into place over a five-hour period using self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs), finishing the process three hours ahead of schedule.
It is the longest two-span bridge to be moved in the Western Hemisphere, and the second longest in the world to be moved.
