Project Description

This project is a complete bridge reconstruction. Both the north and southbound bridges will be removed. Two new bridges will be constructed over Goddard Road and Sexton-Kilfoil Drain. This will improve the vertical profile of Goddard Road.

The Goddard Road bridge facts:

• 2,000 foot-long span is no longer needed
• Bridge is in poor conditiong
• Maintenance costs are significant
• Existing vertical sight distance is obstructed by substandard profile
• Existing shoulder widths are too narrow

Proposed Benefits:

• Improved vertical sight distance
• Standard shoulder widths
• Reduced maintenance costs
• Improved aesthetics

Revised Profile

With the existing Conrail railroad spur no longer in operation, the Goddard Road Bridge can be reduced in length and height. A lower profile with improved sight distance will be provided to improve operations.

Obsolete Bridge

The need for a big bridge over Goddard is obsolete.

Future Maintenance

Future maintenance costs of the existing bridge would be significant if the structure is not replaced.
