The original Clarks Mills County Route 113 Bridge connecting Greenwich, N.Y., and Easton, N.Y., was built more than 100 years ago, and was in dire need of replacement. The structure spanning the Batten Kill River was in poor condition, and the community needed an overpass with wider lanes to support increased truck traffic. However, local residents didn't want to lose the historic charm of the original arched bridge.
To meet the community's needs and aesthetic goals, the designers used precast concrete to replicate the look and feel of the original bridge in a more durable replacement bridge. The decision to use precast concrete also eliminated need for significant formwork over the river. This reduced construction time significantly, minimizing the project's impact on travelers. |
