Rum Bridge Road (BR 3-653)

Project Limits:

Approximately 250 feet north and south along Rum Bridge Road.

Project Need:

The existing structure consists of two 117 inch x 79 inch corrugated metal pipe arches with a total length of approximately 70 feet. The replacement of Bridge 3-653 has been proposed due to significant corrosion found during routine bridge inspections and the subsequent diminishing structural integrity of the structure.

Project Overview:

The scope of the proposed project is to replace the existing corrugated metal pipe arches with a single span concrete structure. Additional improvements include minor approach roadway work and placing rip-rap in the stream for scour protection. The work shall be performed under a full road closure with a posted detour.

Project Timeline:

Design Phase:

Design work was completed in January 2015.

Construction Phase:

Construction work was completed in Fall 2015.
