PennDOT District 9-0, Bedford County
This project replaced the structure carrying SR 31 over the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River. The existing structure, built in 1931, was a 97’-0”, two-span concrete t-beam bridge. This bridge replacement used a 110’-10.5” span P/S concrete PA bulb tee beam superstructure on concrete abutments. The overall project included 1,410’-0” of approach roadway improvements plus realignment of an intersection/township roadway and improvements to a PA Turnpike access road. A temporary bridge was used to maintain traffic during construction.
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.
