Road Bridge
Erie County Department of Public Works contracted
Foit-Albert Associates to design the replacement of the existing
67 year old, 15 ton posted, 45 foot span multi-steel girder
and floorbeam bridge with a new structure on same alignment
with related highway work including water main relocation on
both the north and south sides. The scope of service includes
Project Development including a Project Initiation Phase Report,
Survey and Mapping, Hydraulic Analysis, Public Information
Meeting, Public Comment Analysis/Design Approval, Environmental
Studies, Final Design (ADP), Final Design (Construction Documents),
Advertisement, Bidding, Award and Services During Construction.
The replacement structure was placed on nearly
the same horizontal alignment, except that the replacement
bridge was moved west to align with the existing creek. The
existing bridge was in a sag vertical curve; therefore the
vertical alignment was revised to achieve a design standard
headlight sight distance for the appropriate design speed.
A hydraulic analysis was completed for the stream through the
bridge structure to provide adequate hydraulic opening and
to provide minimum freeboard clearance per NYSDOT requirements.
To protect against slope erosion, stone fill was installed
and keyed into the stream channel as required.
This project was
featured at the BridgeTek Conference in November of 2004 as
an example of good design.
