Wallkill River Bridge Rehabilitation Design

Wallkill River Bridge
Project Overview: 
The Wallkill River Bridge is a six-span, concrete barrel arch bridge that carries Metro-North Railroad’s Port Jervis Line at Milepost 67.05 in Goshen, New York. Built in 1907, the bridge is approximately 381 feet in length with its superstructure consisting of concrete arch barrels supported on concrete abutments and piers and carries one railroad track over the Wallkill River.
McLaren's Role: 
A 2004 inspection of the bridge revealed a wide longitudinal crack on the underside of the bridge, a 24” sinkhole at the top of the deck, a clogged drainage system, severe scaling and spalling, and rotted track ties. McLaren has developed bridge rehabilitation designs based on the findings of this inspection as well of our own cursory inspection of the bridge that determined whether there were other significant conditions previously undiscovered. Various concrete repairs were designed, including repair or replacement of tile drains; removal of delaminated concrete; and repair of the longitudinal cracks. Waterproofing remedies were also developed.
