Evaluation of CON/SPAN precast bridge system
This report summarizes the findings of a eighteen month study of Con/Span precast bridge system. This precast bridge system was developed by Con/Span of Dayton, Ohio. The precast components were fabricated by Superior Precast in Pottstown, PA. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness and performance of the Con/Span precast bridge system to determine if this system is a viable alternative to a precast box culvert or other small cast in place bridge structures. The Con/Span bridge is a 36 feet span precast arch with 8 feet 6 inches of under clearance located on Ashton Road over Wooden Bridge Run in Philadelphia. The results of this study were favorable and indicate that Con/Span is a viable structural alternative to a precast box culvert.
