Battle Creek Road Bridge Replacement

Associated Engineering was commissioned to inspect and prepare a desktop study to investigate options to replace the West Bridge.  This preliminary work led to the design and construction of the new 24.4 m long x 6.0 m wide single span West Bridge and a road grade raise.  The use of modular elements and two steel girders was the efficient and affordable replacement solution for this remote low volume road.

The bridge substructure was constructed of driven steel piles with a precast concrete pile cap.  The superstructure was constructed of two steel girders supporting precast concrete deck panels.  The road grade raise was required so the bridge would be above the high water level.  The road construction also included the construction of ditches to redirect the water off the road and prevent further erosion of the road and bridge.
