Solomon Creek Bridges, Wilkes-Barre, PA
This project included replacement of the Franklin, Regent, Barney, and Waller Street Bridges over Solomon Creek in conjunction with the Solomon Creek Flood Protection Project. Further innovation included the conception of a unique removable bridge parapet design to be quickly reconfigured from a bridge railing to a floodgate. A steel boxrailing was designed on hinges allowing the Emergency Management teams to swing the railing across the roadway to act as a floodgate. According to the US Army Corps of Engineers, this system is the first of its kind in the United States.
