Bridge replacement projects can have a significant impact on commercial and industrial activities in the area because of lane closures and detours. As communities look to replace aging transportation infrastructure, planners are increasingly looking for ways to minimize road closures throughout the project.
ArchCast® Precast Bridge Systems manufactured by County Prestress & Precast are a cost-effective, aesthetically pleasing bridge solution that can be installed faster and with smaller crews than other bridge solutions. Because production can take place while the site is being prepared, ArchCast bridge systems can eliminate construction delays due to on-site forming, rebar tying, and concrete curing.
When the City of Columbia, Mo., decided to replace deteriorating metal culverts on a busy road, minimizing road closure time was one of their top priorities. The ArchCast system proved to be ideal for its inherent strength and easy-to-install design that aligned with the project’s tight construction schedule. Within six weeks, seven 24’ by 10’ rise ArchCast units were manufactured, delivered, and installed.
Speedy installations offer additional benefits to taxpayers because they reduce labor costs during bridge replacement projects.
ArchCast bridge systems are offered as a complete solution, with each component manufactured to project specifications. Custom design elements can be incorporated during the casting process to create the appearance of natural stone or to include custom lettering or patterns.
With a life expectancy that can exceed 100 years, ArchCast bridge systems are a sound investment for communities.
