QUESTION: If there are four lanes in total – two travelling in one direction and two on the other direction. How does Conspan interpret this, two lanes travelling in opposite direction or two lanes travelling in same direction?

ANSWER:

Conspan runs the trucks from left to right and right to left. But nothing like one facing one direction and the other simultaneously in the other direction. Conspan still use 2D continuous beam models for our bridges not 3D models.
