Meridian Road Structure Replacement

HWC designed a single-span reinforced concrete slab bridge to replace the existing structure. The new bridge will use 100% GFRP reinforcing, combined with specific concrete admixtures instead of typical steel rebar, to target a 100-year design life with little maintenance. The roadway design included a passing blister for a neighborhood entrance. HWC also completed right-of-way acquisition and utility coordination for a dozen utility relocations. The new bridge is scheduled for construction in 2026. Utility relocations are currently being completed.

HWC was responsible for the design and construction inspection services for the Bridge 54 Replacement project in White County, Indiana.  

The scope of services consisted of the removal and replacement of the existing bridge, including both substructure and superstructure. This work included the installation of bent piling, steel tub girders, and concrete for end bents, approaches, and bridge deck. Additionally, HMA milling and resurfacing was completed to provide a smooth transition to the new structure before installing new guardrail for safety.

Construction on this contract commenced in May of 2025 and was completed in August of 2025. This project was funded by White County with a construction cost of just over $1.2 million. 

This project was recognized as a 2026 State Finalist for ACEC’s Engineering Excellence Awards since it was one of the first bridges in Indiana to be constructed using steel press-brake tub girders.
