STRUCTURE EVALUATION SUMMARY

This concrete frame bridge is in good condition overall. Problems include isolated spalling with exposed rebar on the arch underside, efflorescence and stalactites from arch ring stones and a lack of reflective object markers for the underpass roadway, deterioration of the mortar joints throughout the bridge. Other problems include vertical cracks at both abutment breastwalls.

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

FIELD INSPECTION REPORT STRUCTURE NO. 5140-002P

G = GOOD (CODES 7 - 9) F = FAIR (CODES 5 - 6) P = POOR (CODES 0 - 4)

CONDITION RATING CODE EQUIVALENTS FOR SUB-ELEMENTS

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 sec ion 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.

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

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.

STRUCTURE EVALUATION SUMMARY

This steel multi-beam bridge is in good condition overall. The main problem with this structure is surface rusting of the steel superstructure and bearing devices, a condition that continues to progress. Additional problems include debris accumulation in the curblines, on bearing areas, and on beam ends; several cracked stones on the east column at the north pier, a displaced stone at the northeast cheekwall; deterioration of the northwest vertical expansion joint; and open core holes in the deck underside. It should be noted that two cracked tack welds were observed on Beam #5 bottom flange near the south abutment (per the 2014 inspection report).

Since the previous inspection, the wearing surface and approaches have been repaved.

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

STRUCTURE EVALUATION SUMMARY

This concrete frame bridge is in good condition overall. Problems include moderate deterioration of the parapet masonry mortar joints in some locations, a spall with exposed rebar at west side of south abutment, missing reflective object markers and vertical clearance signs along the underpass roadway, and widespread graffiti on the abutment breastwalls.

Since the last inspection, the bridge and approaches have been repaved.

Corrective action should be taken as outlined in this report to help prevent the possible development of more serious or costly problems in the future. In addition, consideration should be given to reconstructing the bridge parapets to meet current safety standards.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND ESTIMATED COSTS STRUCTURE NO. 5140-004P

A (Critical) - Structure is closed, in imminent danger of collapse, or presents a critical safety hazard.

B (Major) - Structure exhibits severe deterioration, presents a safety hazard, or is designated a high priority due to age and/or condition.

C (Moderate) - Structure is deficient, functionally obsolete, or requires substantial repairs to prevent a serious deficiency or unsafe condition.

D (Minor) - Structure is generally in good condition. Preventative maintenance may be required.

E (Special) - Structure is under construction or reconstruction.

G = GOOD (CODES 7 - 9) F = FAIR (CODES 5 - 6) P = POOR (CODES 0 - 4)

CONDITION RATING CODE EQUIVALENTS FOR SUB-ELEMENTS

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.

FAILED CONDITION - out of service; beyond corrective action.

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

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.

STRUCTURE EVALUATION SUMMARY

This concrete frame bridge is in good condition overall. Problems include minor deterioration of the mortar joints on the parapets and the wingwalls; and missing object markers at the corners of the bridge on the underpass roadway.

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