Austin Borough, Potter County
Bassett Engineering is excited to announce the completion of the Elliot Street Bridge for Austin Borough! This project was made possible by grant funding from DCED, PennDOT, and Potter County.
The bridge is situated where Elliot Street crosses Freeman Run along SR 872 in Austin Borough, shortly downstream of the historic Austin Dam. The bridge serves as one of the primary accesses to the Borough from state roads for its residents and businesses.
This project involved replacing a deficient bridge consisting of concrete abutments, failing steel beams, and an open steel grate deck. BE designed the structure to incorporate a dedicated lane for pedestrians, bicyclists, and snowmobiles. The new road segment and bridge are a full two lanes wide with shoulders.
Construction of the improvements was completed by Glenn O. Hawbaker and the bridge was opened to traffic in October 2024.
