Van Cleef was contracted by the County of Sussex to provide design services for the replacement of the North Church Road Viaduct over the Wallkill River and New York, Susquehanna & Western (NYS&W) Railroad. The main viaduct was a 456-foot long, steel girder superstructure with a non-composite concrete deck, with an intersecting 200-foot-long steel girder with non-composite concrete deck, ramp framed in at the east side of the Wallkill River servicing a local street. This structure had undergone several rehabilitation projects in its life span and presently had a load restriction for truck traffic.
