Project Description:

U.S. 60 OVER FLAT CREEK - This bridge is a replacement for an older concrete bridge carrying US 60 over Flat Creek. The horizontal and vertical alignment of the roadway are unchanged. A portion of Flat Creek is being rerouted requiring the new bridge to be on a 35 degree skew. The new structure is designed as one simple span 26 feet long. The deck width is 40 feet. The framing consists of a concrete deck supported by five 12-inch deep prestressed concrete box beams. Breastwall abutments founded on rock complete the substructures. Phase construction will be used to maintain traffic rather than building a detour. The contract for the bridge was let in March 1996.
