The Witmer Group had the privilege to contribute to this significant historic salvation by repointing abutments, piers, and arch soffits, underpinning existing footings, providing grout infill of pier voids, adding additional support with stainless steel tie rods, and dismantling and re-building parapets and spandrel stones. As NPS visitors can attest, the Burnside Bridge restoration project is a shining example of what craftsmanship, preservation expertise, dedication to historic accuracy and innovative problem-solving can achieve.
