This project involved the replacement of an existing bridge carrying Flintstone Creek Road over Flintstone Creek. The old single lane, two-span bridge was replaced with a two-lane, single span prestressed concrete spread box beam bridge. Constructed in approximately the same location as the old bridge, the new structure is 50.05’ in length and has a clear span of 46.95’ along the bridge centerline. The bridge lies on a 75-degree skew creating a normal clear span of 45.35’. A temporary roadway was used during construction to maintain traffic around the work zone.
Additionally, 405’-0” of approach roadway work was associated with this project. The approach roadways are 18’-0” wide including 2’-0” effective shoulders on each side.
We have worked with Keller Engineers for structural and civil engineering support on six projects over the past five years and have been very pleased with the results. Our projects tend to be complicated phased renovation/ addition projects calling for creativity in planning and construction. I have been particularity pleased with their responsiveness to issues that arise during construction which is of particular importance to us and our clients. Vern L.
