Project Name

BR-2-222A on Sandy Bend Road over Tappahanna Ditch

Project Limits

200 feet north and south of bridge

Project Need

This bridge consists of prestressed concrete beams with a hot-mix riding surface on concrete abutments.  The beams have deteriorated significantly with evidence of cracks, spalling, and corrosion of exposed bar reinforcement and prestressing strands.  The substructure is in good condition.  The bridge was selected by the pontis Bridge Management System for work.

Project Overview

This project involves the replacement of the superstructure of the bridge with prestressed, precast concrete beams with cast-in-place concrete parapets and a composite concrete deck.  In addition, riprap will be placed in the stream for scour protection, the existing guardrail will be removed and replaced, and the approaches will be reconstructed as required.
