James F. Craig, P.E. Ron Tiderencel, Otsego County
C&S Engineers, Inc. Superintendent of Highways, 499 Col. Eileen Collinns Blvd. Forestry, and Parks Syracuse, NY 13212 Linden Ave. [email protected] Cooperstown, NY 13326 (607) 547-4268 [email protected] Synopsis:
This presentation provides a look at a local bridge replacement project with many challenges. For 64 years, the traveling public in the Town of Maryland, Otsego County, NY had to negotiate a 90º turn at the Elk Creek crossing with an advisory posting of 10-mph on a 55-mph roadway. The bridge is located in an agricultural area outside of the Village of Schenevus. The Otsego County Highway Department determined that the construction of a new curved girder bridge on a curved roadway alignment was the most efficient solution. This solution provided the best means of improving driver safety and replacing the structurally deficient existing bridge, while allowing single stage construction by maintaining traffic on the existing highway alignment. The new roadway alignment, with a 195 meter radius, facilitated an improved advisory posting of 35-mph. The non-standard design criteria justification for not providing a 55-mph horizontal curve included the fact that a local farm would be eliminated and several local residences would no longer have access to CR 34 if a 55-mph curve was constructed. The site selected for the proposed curved CR 34 roadway and bridge presented physical, geometric, environmental and economic challenges. Notable features of the project include: • Major realignment of the existing roadway • Partial realignment of the existing stream • Curved girder superstructure with complex geometry • Precast concrete modular T-Wall ® Retaining Wall System • Innovative R-O-W acquisition and abandonment • Construction of a cattle pass for dairy farm operation The overall construction cost of the project was $2,000,000. The construction duration was 6 months and the project was completed in November 2003.
