SR 62 Abutment under construction. This project had an MSE wall per PADOT plans but a redesign was proposed and accepted for a conventional abutment and wing walls on Piles.
This is a Design/Build project for the full replacement of a structurally deficient single span reinforced concrete T Beam Bridge carrying State Route 0040 over Buffalo Creek. The new structure is anticipated to be constructed on the existing horizontal alignment with only minor adjustments to the vertical alignment (0.19 acres disturbance). Because the structure is located directly adjacent to historic S Bridge care will need to occur in demolition plus new bridge will include features such as stained concrete, weather guide rail and type 10 M barrier with weathered steel/powdered type finish. Traffic will be maintained using half width construction and controlled with a temporary traffic signal.
The project involves the replacement of the existing bridge carrying T-970 (Climax Road) over Redbank Creek located in Mahoning Township, Armstrong County and Porter Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. The existing riveted steel through truss bridge will be replaced with a two span steel I-beam bridge. T-970 is classified as a Rural Local Roadway; therefore, Rural Local Road criteria were used to establish the design elements for the bridge replacement and approach roadway reconstruction.
