Stahl Sheaffer was the prime engineering consultant for a bundled bridge project that included 10 structure replacements or rehabilitations in three WVDOH Districts spanning six counties. Stahl Sheaffer completed all design and permitting services, construction inspection, and construction management for the following structures, which were bid together utilizing a competitive bundling package that included several alternate scenarios:

• CR 24 over Little Creek, Jackson County, WV – Rehabilitation of existing 47’ span bridge including deck replacement, painting steel superstructure, and abutment repairs. A temporary road and bridge installed directly upstream of the existing bridge was used to detour traffic during construction.

• CR 25/1 over Tug Fork of Mill Creek, Jackson County, WV – Replacement consisting of 98’-6” single span Prestressed concrete adjacent box beam superstructure supported on steel piles with reinforced concrete pile caps. The new structure was placed along a new alignment directly upstream of the existing bridge allowing traffic to utilize the existing bridge during construction.

• CR 21/29 over Shamblin Run, Jackson County, WV – Replacement of existing culvert with a new 10’-2” (span) x 2’-8” (rise) aluminum box culvert supported on reinforced concrete spread footings. Total structure length was 80’-0”. Traffic was detoured during construction.

• CR 7/13 over South Fork of Hughes River, Ritchie County, WV – Replacement of an existing bridge with a new 103’-0” single span prefabricated steel arch bridge supported on steel piles with reinforced concrete pile caps. The new structure was placed along a new alignment directly upstream of the existing bridge allowing traffic to utilize the existing bridge during construction.

• CR 15 over Evans Creek, Putnam County, WV – Replacement of existing bridge with a new 82’-0” single span prestressed adjacent box beam superstructure supported on reinforced concrete abutments. The bridge was installed using phased construction providing one lane of traffic during construction.

• CR 28 over Slab Creek, Ritchie County, WV – Replacement of existing bridge with a new 68’-0” single span prestressed adjacent box beam superstructure supported on steel piles with reinforced concrete pile caps. The new structure was placed along a new alignment directly downstream of the existing bridge allowing traffic to utilize the existing bridge during construction.

• CR 3 over Right Fork Reedy Creek, Roane County, WV – Replacement of a single 48’-0” span superstructure with abutment and wingwall modifications and approach roadway work. Traffic was detoured during construction using a temporary road and bridge placed directly downstream of the existing bridge.

• CR 3/7 over Left Fork Straight Creek, Wirt County, WV – Replacement of an existing culvert with a new 18’-7” (span) x 5’-4 1/4” (rise) aluminum box culvert supported on reinforced concrete spread footings. Total structure length was 58’-6”. Traffic was detoured during construction.

• CR 34 over Burning Springs Run, Wirt County, WV – Replacement of an existing bridge with a 18’ (span) x 6’ (rise) precast reinforced concrete three-sided culvert supported on reinforced concrete spread footings. The total structure length was 31’-7”. Due to the orientation of the upstream channel, a cantilevered soldier pile retaining wall totaling 27 feet in length was installed along the channel bank to support the approach roadway shoulder at the culvert. Traffic was detoured during construction.

• CR 56 over Fishing Creek, Wetzel County, WV – Rehabilitation of existing two-span steel superstructure bridge. Total span length is 137’-0”. Rehabilitation items include superstructure painting, deck replacement, and abutment repairs. Traffic was detoured using a temporary two-span bridge placed directly downstream of the existing bridge.

Stahl Sheaffer also provided safety services, including safety inspections, safety training, and accident investigations & reporting.
