Lake Road Bridge is a 32-foot span by 36-foot long by 12-foot-high precast concrete arch with precast footers on Lake Road over Elk Creek. The new road segment and bridge are a full two lanes wide with shoulders. The road was realigned to eliminate a slight double curve and regraded to smoothly transition to the hill grade past the bridge. The four bridge corners at the wingwalls were stabilized with riprap, and new guiderail and signs were set.

Bassett Engineering is excited to announce the completion of the fifth and final bridge under Bundle 2 of the Lycoming County Bridge Bundling Program!
The brand-new concrete arch spans 32′ and is 33′ long and is located on Bill Sones Road in Moreland Township. A precast arch was chosen for Bill Sones Road due to stream and site requirements.
The stream crossing has been improved by increasing the hydraulic opening and capacity, providing armor against erosion along upstream and downstream embankments, and reducing scour at the outlet by lowering stream velocities through the structure. The structure was sized to carry a full two-lane roadway.
The structure was designed by Bassett Engineering of Montoursville, prepurchased by Lycoming County through the PA COSTARS Program, and the installation was completed by Wolyniec Construction of Williamsport, PA. The bridge was completed in October of 2022.

Here are some facts about Act 13 from our President:
The state of Pennsylvania passed Act 13 with the intent that recipients spend the money building infrastructure that would help residents and the gas industry. Many municipalities receive critical boosts to their budgets from Act 13, and those moneys would be sorely missed if they were to go away. Every year major efforts are undertaken, mostly from downstate interests, to eliminate Act 13. We encourage you to spend your Act 13 moneys wisely. Nearly every municipality has a road, bridge or culvert that could stand improvement.
Emergency generators are another wise expenditure for Act 13 funds. Municipal buildings are critical infrastructure any time, but particularly during and after natural disasters. Electricity, internet and cell service are absolute essentials that must remain in service. We now have underway several projects to add emergency generators for municipalities and Authorities; these are affordable projects. Please contact Bassett Engineering if you need assistance with an emergency generator.
Bassett Engineering has completed a wide variety of projects for Municipalities, Authorities, and private clients throughout our 20 plus years of operation. In the past couple of years a number of unique projects have greatly broadened our expertise.
Here’s some information on how naming an Engineer, can help your Township or Borough:
Retained Engineer for Grants: If your municipality has not traditionally named an Engineer, we encourage you to do so because it can help with grant and emergency funding, most of which that involve construction require the municipality to name an Engineer to design the project and oversee construction. If the municipality has a retained Engineer, work can begin immediately. If not, the municipality often must select an engineer through a competitive process, a time-consuming effort that takes 1 or 2 months. Such time is not available in the case of emergencies such as flooding. If your municipality has not already named an Engineer, we ask that you consider naming Bassett Engineering as your Engineer.
