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
