Dewberry has been selected by the New Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) to provide local concept development (LCD) studies for the Oradell Avenue Bridge in Bergen County and the Great Road Bridge in Somerset County.
The Oradell Avenue Bridge over the Hackensack River is a
major connector for a residential neighborhood and Oradell’s downtown business
district. Between 17,000 and 25,000 vehicles travel across the bridge daily, as
well as heavy pedestrian and bicycle traffic. The LCD study will address the
structural and geometric deficiencies of the bridge and produce recommendations
to improve safety.
Great Road Bridge (CR 601) over Bedens Brook in
Montgomery Township runs parallel to Route 206 and is used as a detour when
Route 206 is closed due to crashes. Nearly 5,000 vehicles travel over the bridge
daily. The study will determine appropriate improvements to the bridge,
including addressing structural deficiencies and increasing safety.
“We are excited to work with NJTPA, Bergen County, and
Somerset County to work on these LCD studies that address the structure and
safety of these crucial bridges for the local communities,” says Dewberry Vice
President and Project Manager Richard Menino, PE.
Dewberry has performed more than 30 concept development
and scoping bridge replacement projects throughout New Jersey.
