Project Details

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 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.
