This project included the replacement of the existing structurally deficient single-span concrete encased T-beam bridge supported on reinforced concrete abutments and wingwalls. The bridge, located over Chest Creek in East Carroll/Clearfield Townships, was posted for a six-ton weight limit.
The new structure is a single span, prestressed spread box beam bridge having a total structure length of approximately 60’ and a clear span of approximately 55’. The new structure carries two-way traffic and has a 22’ curb-to-curb width.
Additional improvements included placement of rock protection along both footings of the proposed structure and 400’ of approach roadway work with new guide rail on the approaches to the bridge.
Penn Cambria School District has collaborated the last 4 years with the Keller Engineer’s team to complete a multi-phased paving and drainage project on our HS campus. I have personally worked with Adam Long, Brian Smith and Shawn Ritchey throughout the entire project and they made Penn Cambria feel like we were their only client. The personal attention to our needs and specific details of this project were second to none. The communication aspect of the Keller Engineer Team was outstanding. We trust their process, their design and their commitment to a quality project that when completed, we are all very proud of. Bill Marshall, Superintendent Penn Cambria School District
