Number: AC-STBG-G-205-1(007)E This project is for replacement of the existing Bridge No. 1101000 on MD 42 over Buffalo Run. The existing structure is a 40' long, single span, earth filled, concrete arch bridge, founded on spread footers, and built in 1933. It carries an 11'-0"+- southbound lane with a 3'-4"+- shoulder and an 11'-10+-" northbound lane for a total roadway width of 26'-2"+-. The proposed structure is a 45' long, single span, galvanized steel girder bridge. It carries two 11'-0" lanes with 6'-0" shoulders for a 34'-0" total clear roadway width and 37'-10" out-to-out superstructure width. The proposed abutments are founded on micropiles and the proposed wingwalls are founded on spread footers.
