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.
We have worked with Keller Engineers for structural and civil engineering support on six projects over the past five years and have been very pleased with the results. Our projects tend to be complicated phased renovation/ addition projects calling for creativity in planning and construction. I have been particularity pleased with their responsiveness to issues that arise during construction which is of particular importance to us and our clients. Vern L.
