Funds back bridge proposal
The Federal Highway Administration has award- ed $6 million to a UCSD-led consortium that has been developing a proposal to build the nation's first bridge to be constructed with advanced composite materials. The proposed bridge would span Inter- state 5 to connect UCSD's west campus near Gilrnan drive to the east campus, near UCSD's Thornton hospital. Other partners in the effort include Science Applications International Corp., Fluor Daniel Inc. and the California Department of Transi)ortation.

UCSD gets $6 million grant for 1-5 bridge
UNION-TRIBUNE
The Federal Highway Adminis- tration has awarded UC San Diego a $6 million grant to build an ad- vanced-technology bridge over In- terstate 5, linking the west and east sides of campus between Gilman and La Jolla Village Drives.
The 450-foot "advanced compos- ites" bridge will use a technology derived in part from defense and aerospace research, engineers said. The materials are expected to lead to cheaper and faster construction, ending with a bridge that requires less maintenance than a conven- tional span and is more resistant to earthquakes.
The four-lane bridge will be sup- ported by a huge pylon, with dozens of carbon or carbon/steel cables running down to the roadbed. The four-year grant was announced on campus yesterday by U.S. Sen. Bar- bara Boxer, D-Calif.
