This project was an accelerated bridge replacement on US Hwy 61. Work was about to start on nearby I-55 and the design-build team was assessing bridge conditions on the nearby US61 detour route. They found an old steel truss bridge that would not be able to handle increased traffic demands. The team selected a two span custom buried bridge solution with precast panel MSE headwalls to limit the project footprint and meet schedule requirements. Concrete box beams and other "standard" bridge options were considered but the Buried Bridge solution met all of the project budget and schedule requirements. An added benefit was the ability to widen the bridge by about 5 ft for added safety for bicycles and crossing agricultural equipment. This photos was taken 7 years after construction and the structure still looked like new.

The old bridge over the river Sandá on the Faroe Islands seen through the substituting, road carrying SSCB.The existing stone bridge has been preserved as a pedestrian bridge.
Phased construction using a 30 ft span buried bridge to replace a 5 ft square precast concrete box culvert to restore fish passage beneath US2 outside of Spokane, WA. This required a major excavation and there were no detour routes available. The new structure would have 40ft of soil cover. Half of the road was excavated and soldier pile & lagging was used as a temporary excavation support. Half of the structure was assembled and backfilled using a temporary MSE wall. Then traffic was moved onto the completed portion of the structure and the other half of the road was excavated. Assembly continued for the other half and then backfill was placed to complete the project. The picture shows assembly during the first phase.
The project consisted of building a new signature entrance to a redeveloped recreation area. The original road was essentially a low water crossing that frequently was impassable during minor precipitation events. The City selected a 2 span custom Buried Bridge crossing that was skewed to road. The concrete headwalls used to support the skewed ends of the structure provided a canvas to create a signature look as users entered the park and match architectural features throughout the park.
This was a replacement for a 3 span bridge constructed in 1936. The Buried Bridge was selected to meet rail clearance requirements as well as provide a signature look for the community. The structure was designed to be built in an accelerated time frame, using precast concrete footings, modular assembly (structure was assembled in 2.5 days), and mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) headwalls. An architectural committee for the town decided to stain the precast panel faced MSE headwalls to match natural granite in the area and a decorative railing resembling the look of the original bridge was installed along the roadway.
