| | pont à poutres-caissons aboutées | Explanation:
"A box girder bridge is just one of the many styles of bridges. It's actually a common style of bridge that has it's defining feature in the beams of the bridge. The support beams of box girders are fastened together to form a hollow box shape. Box girders are sometimes called a tubular girders. That hollow box may have the shape of a rectangle, trapezoid or multiple isosceles triangles butted up against each other in alternating directions (e.g., tip facing up, tip facing down, tip facing up). Box girders offer stronger construction, especially for bridges that must have a curve to them. They are commonly used in freeway overpasses. The Oakland/San Francisco Bay Bridge is a box girder bridge."
