Delight Quarry Project Overview
Located in Reisterstown, Maryland lies the recently completed York Timber Vehicular Bridge featured at the Quarry Place Condominiums. YBC has partnered with Beazer Homes and Koren Development to design & build this Timber Vehicular Bridge spanning 24 feet wide by 152 feet long with an
HS27-44 capacity. With the history of the mining of serpentine in the area, York’s Decero™ Design Team researched the history of mining facilities
and incorporated architectural elements into the design and creation of the Delight Quarry bridge, a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
