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.
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
