Hendrick Auto Project Overview
The Hendrick Auto Dealership of Charleston, SC approached YBC with a need to connect their expansive inventory by connecting two facility lots divided by a storm water canal. There were two primary focuses for Vannoy Construction, first they wanted a full-service design build approach and second, they wanted the bridge to function effortlessly with the lot activity. The result of this partnership is a Decero™ designed free span bridge anchored with seamless asphalt approaches tying into a flawless vehicular deck with runners. The design features an urban palette of two-toned greens and earthy tans, capped with custom gloss black post caps and a fine wire mesh. Much like the premium vehicles on the lot, this York Bridge is an exquisite example of style and more importantly performance.
