Project Details

Located on the Lycoming Valley Railroad between Montoursville and Williamsport, this structure replaced an 85-year-old bridge that was heavily damaged by Tropical Storm Lee in September 2011.
The new three-span, 476’ long steel bridge was designed to withstand frequent flooding on Loyalsock Creek by increasing the waterway opening by 50% and supporting the concrete foundation on steel piles driven to bedrock. The three-span configuration was selected to minimize the number of piers within the creek and to permit construction beneath overhead transmission lines at the site. Additional work performed included:

  • 1,700’ of track realignment, construction management and construction inspection
  • rehabilitation of an adjacent 2-span deck girder bridge
  • one at-grade crossing
  • one turn-out
  • various utility relocations

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
