Bassett Engineering’s Bridge Bundling Featured in PA Township News Article

By

Bassett Engineering is thrilled to announce that our innovative approach to bridge bundling has been featured in the May edition of Pennsylvania Township News. Our unique method has saved our clients both time and money by bundling multiple bridges into a single project, streamlining engineering and construction. This allows our team to deliver projects faster and more efficiently, ensuring that our clients can achieve their goals.

Completed Project: Montgomery Park Road

Lycoming County Bridge Bundling Program: Bundle 3

Montgomery Park Road, Montgomery Borough

Bassett Engineering is excited to announce the completion of another bridge under Bundle 3 of the Lycoming County Bridge Bundling Program!

The bridge is situated in Montgomery Park, where Park Road crosses Adams Creek, roughly 500 feet from its mouth on the West Branch of the Susquehanna River. Due to its location in the Park, serving two baseball fields and the boat launch, the bridge is heavily used at certain times of the year.

Adams Creek is a warm water fishery located in the level floodplain of the river. The low velocities allowed the use of a Geosynthetic Reinforced Soils Integrated Bridge System (GRS-IBS) bridge, which offered the greatest hydraulic opening at the lowest cost for this span. 

The installation for this project was handled by Rylind Construction, and the bridge was opened to traffic in December of 2022.

Completed Project: Zinck Road

Lycoming County Bridge Bundling Program: Bundle 3

Zinck Road, Mifflin Township

Bassett Engineering is excited to announce the completion of another bridge in Bundle 3 of the Lycoming County Bridge Bundling Program.

The bridge is situated right off Route 287, where Zinck Road crosses a small unnamed tributary to Larrys Creek. The low stream velocities at the site enabled the use of a Geosynthetic Reinforced Soils Integrated Bridge System (GRS-IBS), which was well-suited for the low-profile structure on a low-ADT road. GRS also offered the ability to orient with Zinck Road’s skew to the stream.

The installation of this project was handled by Rylind Construction, and the bridge was completed in December of 2022.

Completed Project: Winner Lane

Lycoming County Bridge Bundling Program: Bundle 3

Winner Lane, Gamble Township

Bassett Engineering is pleased to announce the completion of Winner Lane Bridge! The bridge is a part of the Lycoming County Bridge Bundling Program, Bundle 3.

This bridge sits at the lower end of a marshy field over Murray Run, an Exceptional Value natural reproduction trout stream. The low stream velocities enabled the use of a Geosynthetic Reinforced Soils Integrated Bridge System (GRS-IBS), which is well-suited for the low-profile structure on a low-ADT road. GRS also offered the ability to orient with Winner Lane’s skew to Murray Run. The abutment was shaped to fit the superelevation of the road surface that suits the curve of the road at the bridge while meeting the bridge alignment.

The installation for this project was handled by Rylind Construction, and Winner Lane was opened to traffic in October of 2022!

Completed Project: Bill Sones Road

By

Lycoming County Bridge Bundling: Bundle 2

Bill Sones Road, Moreland Township

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.

Lycoming County Bridge Bundle: Bundle 2

Valley Road, Susquehanna Township

Bassett Engineering is excited to announce the completion of the third bridge under Bundle 2 of the Lycoming County Bridge Bundling Program! The brand-new concrete arch spans 16′ and 72′ long and is located on Valley Road in Susquehanna Township. A precast arch was chosen for Valley 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 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 July of 2022.

Lycoming County Bridge Bundling Announcement

By

Lycoming County Commissioners awarded its Bridge Bundling Program to Bassett Engineering on June 11, 2020.  Seventeen bridges will be replaced or repaired at an estimated total construction cost of $6.9 million, making this our largest bridge project to date. The bridges will be bundled in a series of construction projects, each project being planned to include 4 to 5 bridges. This program will be the first of its kind in the state, a partnership where Lycoming County is taking the lead in joining with 17 municipalities in the County which actually own the bridges. Wallace Montgomery and Associates, one of the mid-Atlantic’s premier bridge engineers will be our subconsultant. Construction is planned to be complete by the end of 2023.

You can read more about our new project thanks to the feature that is in the Sun Gazette.
