High Haith Road
over Squam Lake Canal
NHDOT Br. 126/139
Center Harbor, New Hampshire
The Town of Center Harbor, New Hampshire contracted with QCC to design a replacement structure for High Haith Road over Squam Lake Canal. The narrow concrete slab deck, founded on stone masonry abutments, was posted for 6 tons and was on the NHDOT’s Municipal Redlist due to severe deterioration of the bridge deck and settlement of the stone abutments. This bridge is the only means of access for residents on the island and the Town Beach. The replacement structure is a 24-foot span precast concrete slab bridge founded on cast-in-place concrete abutments. A temporary detour road allowed access to the island during construction.
This bridge replacement project is funded by the Town of Center Harbor, the Federal Highway Administration (ARRA), and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation. Construction will be completed in June 2010.
