This project involved replacement of the existing bridge carrying Old Mill Road over North Spring Creek. Improvements consisted of replacing the existing structurally deficient single lane bridge with a new single lane P/S Concrete Spread Box Beam structure. With minor profile adjustments, the new structure was constructed on the existing horizontal roadway alignment. Drainage work, including new inlets, was included to better control drainage adjacent to the historic Hudson Grist Mill property.
Safety improvements were made to the approach roadway and at the intersection of SR 0655 where site distance was a challenge. This project also required improvements that met design criteria to fit into the community context while limiting impacts to the historic mill, the East Broad Top Railroad (a National Historic Landmark) right-of-way, and area wetlands. The mill race drainage structure was required to be extended to accommodate the widened roadway near the mill and a new reinforced concrete headwall was constructed and faced with the masonry stonework from the original headwall.
[Brian Moore] has kept me informed every step of the way on the front lines of this project. With this being my first project and me still being on a huge learning curve, that speaks volumes about Keller Engineers and Brian’s commitment to your customers.
