STRUCTURE EVALUATION SUMMARY

This prestressed concrete beam bridge is a high preservation priority due to ongoing deterioration of structural elements and the projected costs associated with delaying corrective action. Problems with this bridge include misalignment and excessive rotation of the bridge rocker bearings, with several bearing assembly anchor bolts either missing or broken off due to movement. In addition, leakage through the expansion joints of this prestressed concrete girder structure has led to deterioration of the substructure concrete.

Additional problems include erosion along the southwest wingwall with moderate undermining of the wingwall. The Pier #7 web wall exhibits a severe vertical crack which will also continue to be monitored during future inspections.

Other problems include exposed rebar due to insufficient cover throughout the structure; missing and damaged railing hardware; and broken/missing metal toe plates for the pedestrian staircase.

Corrective measures should be taken as outlined in this report to help prevent the possible development of more serious or costly problems in the future.

It should also be noted that a 2014 underwater inspection found that the horizontal faces of the Pier #3 and #4 footings were fully exposed. The pier web walls extend down flush with the top footing face and do not extend into the river bed. It should also be noted that the full vertical upstream face of Pier #4 footing is exposed along with a possible portion of the tremie seal. No undermining or undercutting was observed around the exposed portions of the footings.

CONDITION RATING CODES FOR ITEMS 58 - 62, 222, 223

N

NOT APPLICABLE

EXCELLENT CONDITION

VERY GOOD CONDITION - no problems noted.

GOOD CONDITION - some minor problems.

SATISFACTORY CONDITION - structural elements show some minor deterioration.

FAIR CONDITION - all primary structural elements are sound but may have minor section loss, cracking, spalling, or scour.

POOR CONDITION - advanced section loss, deterioration, spalling, or scour.

SERIOUS CONDITION - loss of section, deterioration, spalling, or scour have seriously affected primary structural components. Local failures are possible.

Fatigue cracks in steel or shear cracks in concrete may be present.

CRITICAL CONDITION - advanced deterioration of primary structural elements. Fatigue cracks in steel or shear cracks in concrete may be present or scour may have removed substructure support. Unless closely monitored it may be necessary to close the structure until corrective action can be taken.

“IMMINENT” FAILURE CONDITION - major deterioration or section loss present in critical structural components or obvious vertical or horizontal movement affecting structure stability. Structure is closed to traffic but corrective action may return structure to light service.

FAILED CONDITION - out of service; beyond corrective action.
