Bridge work over Covel Creek and County Highway 15

Stark worked with IDOT and LaSalle County Highway Department on three bridges located East of Grand Ridge, IL. These bridges are within about 7 miles of each other. Stark began work in April on the approximately $476,000 project – County Highway 15 over Wolf Creek. This bridge is 49 foot long and 31 feet wide. Completed work included removal of the existing bridge and construction of a single span concrete deck on PPC I-beam superstructure, as well as reconstruction of approximately 500′ of County Highway 15. For the second bridge, Stark began work in mid-August on the $555,000 project – CH 15 over Covel Creek. Work on this 70 foot long and 31 foot wide bridge included removal of the existing bridge and construction of a single span concrete deck on PPC I-beam superstructure. Also included is reconstruction of a portion of County Highway 15. The remaining earthwork and aggregate driving surface is due to be complete by mid-October 2014. All work on the third bridge at East 20th Road over Covel Creek is complete. Work included removing the existing single span, precast, pre-stressed deck beam bridge and replacing it with a single span 76 foot 11 inch precast, pre-stressed concrete deck beam bridge. Included in this project was reconstruction work of East 20th Road. Superintendents: Tim Garland, Keith Urbanski, and Russ Shevokas
