SR-118; Bridge Replacement Over Sevier River

K&A recently completed the bridge design for replacement of the existing structure over the Sevier River.  The new prestressed concrete bridge will increase roadside safety and improve hydraulic performance while minimizing the roadway vertical profile impacts to provide additional freeboard and minimize roadway construction costs.  The new bridge will also be outside of the river ordinary high water mark, reducing work in the river and the associated costs and risks.  

 

 

2200 West Widening, South Jordan, UT

K&A is providing structural design services for the widening of 2200 West in South Jordan as a subconsultant to PEC.  A culvert extension and replacement box culvert will be required to provide the new roadway section.

 

SR-311 Over the Strawberry River 

K&A provided a bridge replacement over the Strawberry River.  Our team performed the hydraulic analysis and was able to match the existing roadway profile by keeping the span to a minimum.  We accomplished matching the previous span by moving one abutment in front of the existing bridge abutment. 

I-80 Parley’s Summit to Jeremy Ranch WB Truck Lane, Wildlife Crossing

K&A provided QC for the design and plans of the two span 319’ haunched steel girder bridge allowing wildlife to safely cross I-80.  K&A was a subconsultant to WSP.
