| A 185 ton crane was used to place the eight sections of the box culvert. The eight sections weigh a total of 28 tons. The box culvert was manufactured in Telford, PA. The box is made to withstand 6000 psi (pounds per square inch) or force. | The substructure is a single cell precast concrete box culvert. Weep holes prevent hydrostatic pressure from collapsing the box structure. Around the box, filtered stone is used to fill in the area between the old abutment and the new box culvert. |
