Highway and Structural Design

Broad Street Hollow Road Bridge

Project Highlights

  • Coordination with Catskill Park Agency, NYSDEC and State Forest Preserve
  • Utilized prefabricated segmental concrete block system for abutments and wingwalls
  • Complex constructability due to adjacent utilities, driveways and historic walls

Project Description:

This project involved the complete replacement of a 32-foot steel jack arch structure with a 45-foot-long steel multi-girder bridge with a timber deck. Substructure units consisted of a pre-cast concrete “Stone Strong” block wall system with an architectural finish. The bridge was widened 6 ft and placed on a 45 degree skew to improve the roadway alignment and traffic safety. The bridge is located on a dead end road; therefore, a detour structure was required to maintain traffic during construction. The project involved coordination and permitting with the Catskill Park Agency and NYS DEC as the proposed detour road went through NYS Forest Preserve lands.
