This project provides for the replacement of the existing Schaeffer Road Bridge over Little Seneca Creek. The existing Schaeffer Road Bridge, constructed in 1925, is a 44 feet 8 inches long single span steel beam with concrete deck structure carrying a 16-foot clear roadway and a one-foot 3-inch combined W-beam railing and two-strand-steel-pipe-rail concrete post barriers on both sides for a total out-to-out bridge width of 18 feet 6 inches. The structure is supported by two stone masonry abutments encased in concrete. The replacement Schaeffer Road Bridge will be an approximately 42 feet 6 inches long single span simply supported prestressed concrete slab beam structure carrying a 16-foot clear roadway and one 2 feet 6 inches wide, 3 feet 6 inches high CalTrans Type 85 concrete parapet with two steel pipe rails on both sides, for a total out-to-out bridge width of 21 feet. The proposed bridge will be supported by two concrete abutments with concrete footing and drilled shaft foundations. Approximately 194 feet long asphalt approach roadway will be repaved to tie the bridge to the existing roadway. The existing gravel parking area at the southeast corner of the bridge will be reconstructed to be an asphalt parking area.
