PennDOT District 9-0, Bedford County
This project involved replacing the structure carrying SR 31 over the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River, near the intersection of Diehl Road (T-402). Built in 1931, the existing structure was an 87’, two-span concrete t-beam bridge. The replacement bridge used an 86’-10” span P/S concrete PA bulb tee beam superstructure on concrete abutments. The overall project included 1,715’-0” of approach roadway improvements including straightening of the alignment to eliminate existing sight distance challenges. Staged, partial width construction was utilized allowing improved alignment for this project.
[The] entire staff did a wonderful job! We truly appreciate all the hard work in making our bridge project a success and something we can be very proud to have in our township. Bev Sherwood Burns, Supervisor Blacklick Township
