In 2019, Old Easton Road Bridge in Plumstead Township had to be replaced.
Its past several inspections showed increasing scour issues and deterioration of the main load-carrying members, indicating it was becoming structurally deficient.
The township wanted to replace the original two-lane bridge with a more robust design, but they were limited by permit requirements and other restrictions that prevented widening the roadway. The township also had a limited budget, which further constrained the design team, says William Castle, founder and president of W.J. Castle, P.E. & Associates. |
