A value engineering analysis led to a change in the windward viaducts from cast in place to precast.

D'autres méthodes de construction ont été développées en Allemagne : la construction travée par travée sur cintre autolanceur et la mise en place par poussage. La première méthode fait appel à un cintre outil métallique extrêmement lourd (de 200 à 600 t selon la portée de l'ouvrage et la largeur du tablier), qui peut être lancé vers l'avant en ne s'appuyant que sur la partie déjà réalisée de l'ouvrage et sur ses appuis définitifs; une fois en place, le cintre est capable de supporter le poids de la travée à construire (pont de Bremeke et, en France, viaducs de l'autoroute Roquebrune-Menton en 1970; viaducs d'accès au pont de Martigues sur la passe de Caronte en 1974). Le coût des cintres autolanceurs a conduit au développement de la technique du poussage par Fritz Leonhardt (pont sur le río Caroni au Venezuela en 1964) : l'ouvrage est bétonné au sol en arrière d'une des culées, par tronçons successifs, et il est poussé vers l'avant dans son ensemble à l'aide de vérins, par étapes successives correspondant aux phases de bétonnage, après la construction d'un tronçon ou l'achèvement d'une travée. 4, record 31, French, - cintre%20autolanceur
