This project provides for the replacement of the existing bridge (M-0056) on Redland Road over Mill Creek. The existing single-span concrete slab bridge will be removed and replaced with a new prestressed concrete box beam superstructure and precast concrete abutments and wing walls. The new superstructure will be constructed in the same location and will use accelerated construction techniques to reduce the overall construction time. The project includes approach roadway work at each end of the bridge as necessary to tie-in to the existing roadway. The bridge and road will be closed to traffic during construction. Accelerated bridge construction techniques will be utilized to minimize the disruption to the traveling public and local community.
The project is located in Derwood, Maryland. A two-lane bridge between Briardale Road and Overhill Road carrying Redland Road over Mill Creek. This Project will begin with the relocation of an existing 16” WSSC Water Service and an 8” WSSC Sewer main. That work will be followed by a roadway closure and the removal of the existing concrete bridge. A 12” casing pipe for a proposed 8” steel Washington Gas service line will be installed prior to constructing the new larger 48’-0” wide concrete Bridge. The existing roadway will be milled and resurfaced with full depth pavement reconstruction as the new bridge approaches. New guardrail and posts will be installed with new end treatments. Combination curb and gutter will be constructed along roadway as well as a new storm drainpipe and inlet structure. In-Stream Restoration work of Mill Creek will also be done along with new landscaping and roadway signage.
