Cemex is supplying concrete for the Cameron Bridge

Cemex is supplying concrete for the Cameron Bridge, part of a reconstruction of the Arizona section of Route 89 in the southwestern US.

Spanning approximately 200m, the new bridge includes four lanes for highway traffic, a pedestrian underpass, and other concrete flatwork that is expected to improve traffic flow and road safety.

To best meet the project’s construction demands, 643 Cemex installed a remote batch plant at a nearby quarry, which enabled the company to supply more than 15,000m³ of concrete.

During this project’s development, Cemex overcame several operational challenges, including pouring at a height of nearly 30m, dealing with winter weather shutdowns, as well as fluctuations in the level of the Little Colorado River Gorge.

“Cemex takes great pride in delivering quality building materials for infrastructure projects such as the new Cameron Bridge,” says Eric Wittmann, West Region President, Cemex USA.

“This project is one of many examples of how we’re building a better future for our communities.”
