The project posed complex challenges, including narrow working areas, site constraints, and a limited budget. However, the township and consulting engineer overcame these obstacles by designing a reinforced concrete structure, so the bid-winning contractor could purchase and install an InQuik Bridge or similar alternate. The innovative InQuik solution doesn’t require temporary support or false work, negating work beneath the bridge and simplifying construction. Additionally, with a limited budget, utilizing a method that was quick and affordable was essential.

The InQuik Bridge Solution helped enable their success. By leveraging a prefabricated and cast-in-place bridge system, the project benefited from efficient design and installation while still maintaining high quality. This pioneering approach, a first in Pennsylvania, also enabled significant cost savings. A $500,000 grant from the Multimodal Transportation Fund covered the project, with only $237,000 spent. The remaining funds ($263,000) will support a similar bridge project on Mary Street, using the same process.
