Westmoreland County has 143 state-inspected bridges that are rated in poor condition and will need maintenance work, if they haven’t already been closed. PennDOT lists a bridge as being in poor ...

Buckling Restrained Braces application to provide more resilient bridges have been subjected to cyclic displacement histories representative of yearly thermal demands and of earthquake excitations.

Bridges are rated on a variety of factors, the three most important of which are the conditions of the surface, superstructure and substructure, or foundation. Each is rated on a scale of 1 (“imminent ...

VDOT will begin a project in Palmyra to replace the superstructure and repair parts of the substructure. A half-mile stretch of Route 639 (Long Acre Road) will close to through traffic about 0.7 miles ...

Just over 10% of New York's locally owned bridges were rated in poor condition in 2024, according to data from the Federal Highway Administration's National Bridge Inventory. Federal highway officials ...

Two engineering firms studied replacing the bridge, but the state opted for repairing it instead, leading to its closure in ...
