Bridge #315 Rehabilitation
The White County Bridge #315 rehabilitation project included the replacement of the original bridge deck that was constructed in the 1970s. After conducting an inspection of the existing bridge, it was concluded that the six spans of prestressed I-beams were in generally satisfactory condition and would be repaired as needed with fiber wrap. However, the piers were in poor condition at the water line with major concrete deterioration and exposed rebar and required repair utilizing an in-water method. Additionally, the street lights and sidewalk were replaced and upgraded to current standards.
This project was constructed during winter and spring to avoid conflicts with the summer tourist season of Lake Shafer.
