bridge culvert replacement with creek running underneath

Wyncoop Creek Road and Industrial Park Boulevard

Culvert Replacements

Location: Elmira and Chemung, NY

Owner: NYSDOT Region 6

Status: Completed

Construction Cost: $600,000

The Project

Two locally owned culverts were slated for replacement. The Industrial Park Boulevard corrugated metal pipe arch had experienced a failure, and the Wyncoop Creek Road (CR 3) structure was deteriorating significantly.

Erdman Anthony was selected to design the culvert replacements as part of the BridgeNY program.

Features/Solutions

Our team provided comprehensive design services, including preparation of the design report, geometry layout, hydraulic analysis, approach roadway design, and environmental screening and permitting.

NYSDOT-conforming designs were provided, featuring highly sustainable, four-sided, precast-concrete box culverts to replace the existing structures. A 10-foot-span by 9-foot-rise culvert was constructed at Industrial Park Boulevard, and a 15-foot-span by 6.5-foot-rise culvert was constructed at Wyncoop Creek Road.

Impacts

The new culvert geometry allowed for new wider roadway sections to be conveyed, in accordance with highway design criteria.

In addition, the waterway openings were hydraulically designed to convey flows and were embedded with native streambed material to accommodate organism migration, in accordance with environmental regulations. Traffic was maintained via off-site detours during construction.
