Site work and paving for a bridge / tunnel in Germantown, Maryland. Conceptual plans call for site work for a bridge / tunnel; and for paving for a bridge / tunnel.

This project provides for the replacement of the existing Brink Road Bridge over Great Seneca Creek. The existing bridge, built in 1972, is a one span 58'-3" steel beam with an asphalt filled corrugated metal deck structure carrying a 23'-6" clear roadway with W-beam guardrail on each side. The proposed replacement bridge includes a one span 58' prestressed NEXT beam structure with a 34'-0" clear roadway width. The project includes 400-feet of approach roadway work west of the bridge to reduce flooding frequency and improvements to the intersection with Wightman Road approximately 20' east of the bridge. In addition, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) Seneca Creek Green hiker-biker trail crossing will be improved at the intersection. The new bridge will carry two lanes of traffic with two 11' travel lanes and 6' wide shoulders for a clear roadway width of 34'. A traffic signal will be constructed at the intersection of Wightman Road and Brink Road. To meet Program Open Space (POS) land conversion requirements land needs to be purchased at the corner of Wightman Road and Brink Road and a parking lot constructed for trail users.
