PennDOT District 9-0, Bedford County
This project replaced the structure carrying SR 31 over the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River. The existing structure, built in 1931, was a 97’-0”, two-span concrete t-beam bridge. This bridge replacement used a 110’-10.5” span P/S concrete PA bulb tee beam superstructure on concrete abutments. The overall project included 1,410’-0” of approach roadway improvements plus realignment of an intersection/township roadway and improvements to a PA Turnpike access road. A temporary bridge was used to maintain traffic during construction.
[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
