This paper highlights the design of a concrete marine trestle across a sensitive environmental area in the Puget Sound of Washington State, at the Washington State Ferries (WSF) Anacortes terminal. Operational requirements and environmental restrictions are described, emphasizing the challenges and issues surrounding the layout and selection of the trestle system with transfer span for vehicles. Features of the civil and structural design approach are explained, and a constructability review of the trestle is also described, including equipment proposed for the work.
