About this file

This document is a Trail Bridge Inspection form for the HRWAT #4 bridge located in the White Mountain National Forest, Androscoggin Ranger District. The bridge is classified as a Complex Trail Bridge with a Trail Class 3 and designed for Snow Cat use, situated at Trail Number-Bridge MP 31393-0.80. The inspection, conducted on 9/28/2023 by Steve Wright, P.E., revealed significant structural deficiencies, particularly with the deck and approach spans.

Key findings include a deck with numerous rotted and broken boards that are unsafe to walk on, resulting in a National Bridge Inventory (NBI) Condition Rating of 2-Serious. The superstructure consists of 4 steel beams (likely W14x43) with light surface rust, and the steel stringers and diaphragms are in good condition. The inspection recommends closing the bridge until the deck can be replaced. Recommended tasks include replacing the deck boards, installing safety signage, brushing approaches, attaching girders to sills, and rebuilding the approach to Abutment 1. The total estimated maintenance and repair costs involve various tasks ranging from $1.99 to $1,725 per unit, with materials including timber, steel, and general bridge maintenance supplies.

Structure Remarks

Superstructure: Beams H=14", Wf=8", Tf=1/2", Tw=1/4" (Likely W14x43). Girder spacing 36". Diaphragm spacing 7.5'. Steel stringers and diaphragms are in good condition with minor rust.

Deck: A number of heavily rotted and broken boards. Deck boards not safe to walk on. Approach span is partially overgrown also with broken and rotted boards. The issues with the deck resulted in a NBI Condition Rating of 2-Serious, and is a critical finding. It is recommended that this bridge be closed until the deck can be replaced.
