Raven Rock Pedestrian Bridge
Replacement of a Pedestrian Bridge
The pedestrian bridge is part of the Campbell Creek Loop Trail and has a clear width of six feet approximately 184 feet in length. It consists of cast-in-place concrete footings with timber post and beam substructure, 52-foot structural glue-laminated timber center span, 2”x12” pressure-treated wood deck joists, composite wood decking, and a pressure treated wood railing system including a composite wood top rail and handrail.
Hydraulically, the bridge elevation was set to provide one-foot clearance above the published 100-year flood elevation documented in the FEMA FIRM mapping. As a result, the entire floodplain was crossed.
This project was completed on time, within budget, and without change order. Ω
