School Street Bridge over Salmon Creek

What was the Challenge?

This 20-foot span masonry stone arch bridge, constructed in 1899, had been closed for over 7 years due to deterioration of mortar and stones in the arch and leaning walls.

How did Barton & Loguidice provide a solution?

Repairs by our team included replacing missing stones, resetting stone masonry, tuckpointing, and crack repairs. A reinforced soil system was installed behind headalls and wingwalls to reduce earth pressure. The stream was reshaped, and a cross vane added to align the creek through the barrel of the arch.

Why was the project a success?

With the project complete, response times for the nearby Sodus Center Fire Department and other emergency responders are reduced.
