Project Description

The existing Geib Bridge spans 24 feet, and it carries Geib Road over Corbett Draw. The substructure and superstructure of Geib Bridge will be removed and replaced with footings, cast-in-place abutments, and a prestressed-precast multi-web superstructure or voided slab deck. Geib Road will be improved from M.P. 2.55 to 2.75, and there will be a construction detour for the Geib Bridge Replacement.

The existing Gerald Zellmer Bridge spans 25 feet, and it carries Zellmer Road over Crab Creek. The substructure and superstructure of Gerald Zellmer Bridge will be removed and replaced with footings, cast-in-place abutments, and a prestressed-precast multi-web superstructure or voided slab deck. Zellmer Road will be improved from M.P. 2.04 to 2.24, and there will be a construction detour for the Gerald Zellmer Bridge Replacement.

Blenz Bridge is 29 feet long and carries Blenz Road over Sinking Creek. The existing steel girder system of Blenz Bridge will be removed and replaced with voided slab deck and rail system.
