ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a precast girder that is used as the outer-most lateral girder in a bridge superstructure. In one embodiment, the girder is comprised of a first flange, a second flange that is separated from the first flange, and a web that connects the first flange to the second flange so that the resulting combination of the first flange, second flange, and web generally has an I-beam cross-section. The girder further includes an edge portion that is connected to the second flange and extends away from the first and second flanges.
