<p>Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is one of the innovative technologies which facilitate building durable and effective structures. It also shows outstanding properties in terms of strengths (both of compressive and tensile) and ductility compare with ordinary concrete. For these reasons, many researchers in the world are interested in development of UHPC and already have their own techniques. As a result of the researches, many bridges for pedestrians and roadways have been already constructed in the world using UHPC.</p><p>Especially, in Korea, the construction of the world’s first cable-stayed bridge (CSB) for roadway using UHPC was completed in 2018. Total length of the bridge is 966m including 766m of the approach bridges and 200m of the main span with cable stayed bridge. The main span is composed of 47 precast segments with 180MPa UHPC and circular shaped steel pylon.</p><p>While constructing the bridge, various technical issues were generated in the field due to the material properties of UHPC such as autogenous shrinkage, hydration heat, high fluidity, and etc. These issues are mainly caused by low water-cement(W/C) ratio which is inevitable retribution of UHPC for high strength. In this paper, the basic scheme of design and construction progress of the Legoland Access Bridge and key technical issues in the field to fabricate UHPC girder are presented.</p>
