Pennsylvania’s first precast concrete segmental vehicular bridge is nearing completion (Fig. 24). The Susquehanna River Bridge, owned by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, features twin 5,910 linear foot structures to carry I-76 over the Susquehanna River. Erection of the westbound structure was completed on November 7, 2006 and casting of the 1,040 precast segments was completed on December 29, 2006 (Fig. 25). Erection operations of the eastbound structure are on schedule for completion in late February, 2007. The bridge is scheduled to open to traffic by May 4, 2007 and plans are being made for a community bridge walk prior to the traffic opening.
