Croton Dam and Bridges - a photo on Flickriver

Croton Dam and Bridges

The construction of the New Croton Dam in Westchester County, New York, necessitated the erection of two distinctive steel arch structures: a steel arch structure over the spillway and another over the Croton River. The spillway bridge was initially constructed by the Baltimore Bridge Company but was replaced in 1975 with a simpler arch design built of Corten steel due to deterioration resulting from exposure to roadway salt and spillway spray. Seismic capacity, deck-bearing details, and anchorage at the arch bases were among the design and structural issues that compounded the bridge’s deterioration, leading to its emergency closure in 2003 and replacement in 2005.
