I have recently been involved in the design of a $20.7 million dollar project for the replacement of the Route 501 Bridge over James River on the Amherst/Bedford County Line in Virginia. The project is being advertised for construction this summer. This bridge carries an average daily traffic volume of about 1900 vehicles per day. The proposed replacement bridge is five-span steel plate girder bridge that is to be located about 0.7 miles downstream of the existing structure. I was involved in the design of the abutments, one of which was set on drilled shafts. The link below takes you to information posted for the public hearing.
