The SR 3007 replacement structure is a single-span bridge utilizing prestressed bulb-tee beams, supported by full-height abutments. The abutment locations were strategically designed to accommodate future widening of I-70 and the beam depths were optimized to provide sufficient vertical clearance and minimize SR3007 profile adjustments. The SR 201 bridge preservation incorporated a new bearing and steel bolster system designed to increase the vertical clearance over I-70. Additional work included rebuild of abutment backwall, deck blockout, barrier and precast concrete approach slabs to accommodate the vertical profile shift. Construction was completed in 2023.Ongoing projects:Our structures group is currently working on multiple major bridge and bridge corridor replacement projects across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including:SR 0070 Section K30, I-70 Corridor Improvements, Washington County, PA.Currently in preliminary engineering, this project includes safety improvements and total reconstruction of a 6.5-mile corridor of rural interstate.
