1. A construction method for prestressed concrete (PSC) girder bridges comprising the steps of:
providing a PSC girder with at least first and second tendons;
tensing the first tendon and locating the PSC girder spanning between bridge seating devices;
gradually tensing the second tendon while arranging precast slabs at regular intervals on a top surface of the PSC girder;
compounding the precast slabs and PSC girder using a filler material; and
installing additional dead load on the precast slabs.
