Lift day at the Fox Road Bridge replacement designed by Bassett Engineering for Tunkhannock Township! The existing 96-foot two-span steel I-beam bridge is being replaced with a 106-foot single-span prestressed concrete bulb-tee bridge. The new bridge will offer significant geometric, hydraulic, and safety improvements. This project is funded by both PennDOT and DCED Multimodal Transportation Fund grants. Susquehanna Valley Construction Corporation is constructing the bridge for the project. Check out the timelapse video and the pictures of the beams being set below!
Lift day for precast concrete pieces on Cemetery Road in Wharton Township is complete! Bassett Engineering designed a brand new 42′ span x 24’ length precast concrete arch bridge that is being installed over the East Fork Sinnemahoning Creek. The precast concrete arch bridge was chosen because its cost effective, its durability and ability to retain the natural stream bottom in the trout stream. Charles J. Merlo Inc. installed the arch sections along with the headwall and wingwall sections for a total of 10 total picks for the day. Check out the time lapse video to see the installation of the bridge as well as the photos from the lift day below!
Bassett Engineering designed, permitted, bid, and inspected construction of the installation of a new GRS-IBS bridge in the Clifford Township Community Park over the East Branch of Tunkhannock Creek. BE selected a prefabricated steel truss recreation bridge and designed GRS abutments, a revolutionary bridge technology backed by PennDOT and the FHWA. The bridge will require minimal maintenance by the township and is able to pass floods up to the 100-year storm. The weathering steel truss spans 70’ with a clear width of 8’ allowing pedestrians and Township utility vehicles to access the previously inaccessible parts of the park across the creek. This bridge is a beautiful addition for Clifford Park and has many great uses for residents to enjoy.
The project was constructed by Barhite Excavating of Clifford, PA.
