Benton County, Ore., has reported cost savings thanks to the use of recycled bridge materials on its current roadwork, according to a report in the Corvallis Gazette-Times (Corvallis, Ore.).
The county is replacing the Seavy Avenue bridge northeast of Corvallis, Ore. The county is using recycled concrete beams it purchased from Polk County, Ore., from a bridge renovation two years ago. According to the report, the use of the recycled materials has kept the cost to $35,000 for the 28-foot span compared to a similar bridge that cost nearly $300,000.
