Project Spotlight: Precast concrete complements historic stone bridge

Abstract

Precast concrete was used to rehabilitate this 1890s stone arch bridge that had deteriorating sidewalks. The masonry arch bridge on State Route 209, East Broad Street, in Tamaqua, Pa., won a 2015 PCI Design Award for Best Special Solution. Northeast Prestressed Products LLC (NPP) in Cressona, Pa., fabricated and supplied the arched sidewalk beams.
