Blair County
This project involved the rehabilitation of Blair County Bridges 1, 2, and 3 located in the City of Altoona and Logan Township. The bridges are the main route between 4th Avenue in the Juniata Section of Altoona and Route 764 in Logan Township.
Keller Engineers, Inc. completed the rehabilitation project within an accelerated schedule that was set to minimize the bridge closing impact to the surrounding community and school bus traffic.
The project was undertaken to repair and extend the life of the three bridges. It included replacement of the existing bituminous deck wearing surfaces with new reinforced concrete decks, repair of the concrete bridge barriers, repair of the existing prestressed concrete bridge beams, and associated guiderail and roadway approach work.
We have teamed with Keller Engineers on several design-build projects for PennDOT. When selecting a designer, the more critical factors are trust and competence, more so than a low price. If your designer makes a mistake in quantities it can cost you a lot of money. We have stayed with Keller Engineers because we trust them to provide competent service at a competitive price. S.
