Broadstreet Hollow Bridge Replacement

摘要

Nestled within the Catskill Mountains, the Broadstreet Hollow valley is a narrow strip of land defined by the twisting and turning Broadstreet Hollow Stream. Residents and visitors depend on numerous bridges that span the stream to access the many campsites, vacation spots and residences constructed throughout this beautiful region. As these critical bridges begin to age, local engineers must find ways to repair, replace or rehabilitate while balancing environmental, structural and community challenges.rnThe answer is often a combination of prefabricated components and careful engineering. When it came time to replace the aging concrete bridge span and abutment on Broadstreet Hollow Road, the Greene County Dept. of Highways and Engineering looked for a simple, quick and affordable solution so as not to disturb the upcoming trout-spawning season or prevent access to the popular Camp Timber Lake kids' summer camp.
