Veterans Lake Trail Spillway Bridge Drawings 1996.pdf

These are construction drawings for the Veterans Lake Trail Spillway Bridge project located in the Chickasaw National Recreation Area in Murray County, Oklahoma. The technical documents include six pages of detailed engineering plans showing existing and proposed bridge configurations, abutment details, spillway profiles, and photographic documentation of current site conditions. The drawings provide comprehensive technical specifications for a replacement pedestrian bridge, including precise measurements for north and south abutments, bridge deck width (6 feet), and structural components like wood decking, expansion spaces, threaded bolts, and steel reinforcement. The drawings illustrate both the existing bridge infrastructure and the proposed replacement bridge design, with technical annotations detailing construction methods, material specifications, and dimensional requirements for the bridge reconstruction project.

The drawings are part of a federal contract opportunity (Solicitation Number: 6982AF25B000005) managed by the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration. The project aims to replace a pedestrian trail bridge damaged by a tornado in April 2024, with construction anticipated in Summer 2025 and a projected completion date of June 2026. The replacement bridge will be a prefabricated steel truss bridge with a timber deck, similar to the original structure, and will utilize the existing intact abutments after necessary repairs. Construction staging will occur in existing parking lots, and the removed bridge will be extracted from Veterans Lake, transported, and appropriately disposed of. The project includes repairing minor masonry structures and installing an approximately 130-foot-long pedestrian bridge.
