Design of extensive rehabilitation of the existing structure carrying White Deer and Reading Railroad over White Deer Creek and White Deer Pike.
The existing structure was extensively damaged by flooding in 2001. The project included reconstruction of the existing four-span deck-girder bridge utilizing the existing superstructure components, both abutments, and one pier. Two new piers were constructed to replace those previously removed due to the flooding. The superstructure components utilized were previously stored on the single remaining span, Span 4, and on the tracks behind the South Abutment. The new four-span structure has a total length of 210’.
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.
