            Abstract: About 500,000 used rubber tires were utilized in 
            developing a lightweight bridge approach embankment of the 
            Androscoggin River Bridge. The bridge was part of a bypass project 
            in Topsham and Brunswick in Maine. The Topsham-Brunswick Bypass was 
            constructed to relieve traffic congestion and provide highway link 
            in these areas. The bypass involves the construction of railroad 
            overpass bridge, improvement of 4.4 km highway and the construction 
            of the 335-m-long bridge and multilevel interchange connection.
