The project consisted of replacing the existing two-span Concrete T-Beam Bridge that carries S.R. 0997 over Conodoguinet Creek with a new single span Composite Steel Plate Girder Bridge on integral abutments.  Roadway approach work was included for approximately 300 feet on the southern approach and 500 feet on the northern approach.  The design maintained existing horizontal alignment, while the vertical alignment was slightly adjusted to allow for adequate clearance over Conodoguinet Creek. Traffic control consisted of phased construction, two-way traffic maintained by a single lane using temporary traffic signals.

This project includes the replacement of an existing slab bridge carrying S.R. 0522 over Tributary to Big Cove Creek. After reviewing the site constraints, including utilities, buildings, and a billboard, and the difficulties associated with phasing the replacement, SPK, in conjunction with PennDOT, decided to advance an Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) option. This option included a  weekend detour of the 2,500 ADT, facilitated through the extensive use of precast components. Early communication with area businesses was critical in securing buy-in for this ABC approach.
