II. TECHNICAL

1. General:

Bridge History:

The Old Morse Road Bridge carries Old Morse Road over the Quinebaug River at the East Brimfield Lake Reservoir in Holland, Massachusetts. The structure is a three span, continuous, non-composite steel stringer bridge built in 1939.

Each span measures 20'-0" center to center of bent and the total length of the bridge is approximately 62'- 0". Old Morse Road ends 200' beyond the bridge. The bridge is closed to vehicular traffic and functions only as a pedestrian bridge and for USACE vehicles only. The roadway width across the bridge is 20'-0" between concrete curbs.

The superstructure consists of six wide flange rolled beams spaced at 4'-2" on center. The four interior stringers are 16WF40 sections and the fascia stringers are 16WF45 sections. The stringers support a 61/2" reinforced concrete deck, overlaid with 2" of bituminous concrete on a 1" gravel base. The substructure consists of two gravity type concrete abutments with “U” wing walls and two timber pile bents. The two bents consist of six timber piles each with cross bracing and timber caps.

Rating of the bridge is as follows:

Type: H 3 3S2 Inventory: 15 Ton 20 Ton 31 Ton Operating: 27 Ton 35 Ton 54 Ton

Bridge bituminous wearing surface, curbs and parapets, bridge rails, approach guardrails, pile cap hardware existing conditions:

The access bridge is inspected routinely. The last inspection was in 2014.The results of this inspection are as follows.

A. Approach Roadway and Guardrails

Both the east and west approach roadways remain in poor condition. Sections of bituminous pavement are missing at the east approach for the full width of the bridge (see Photo 1). The differential between the approach pavement and the bridge deck is at least 4" at the east approach on the south side. The concrete posts at the guardrails remain in poor condition. There are no cables.

B. Deck

The overall condition of the concrete bridge deck is fair. However, the bituminous wearing surface, curbs and parapets continue to deteriorate. Heavy vegetation is growing at both edges of the bridge deck (see Photo 2). Pavement on either side of the bridge deck is missing, measuring up to 4' wide. There is about 4” of fill/pavement on top of the deck. The underside of the deck is in good condition with only minor honeycombing along edges of top flanges of stringers. The bridge rails are in fair condition with moderate surface rusting and pitting. The condition of the spalling and efflorescence at the south parapet and curb is severe (see Photo 3). There is a large area of deteriorated concrete at the east end of the parapet/curb. This area is approximately 9'-10' long x 2' high x 2" deep and continues to worsen.

Please note that any repair that may need to be done to the bridge decking will be broken out into four options, as not all parts of the decking may need to be repaired. Repairs to the decking will not go any deeper than 1.5” into the deck:

Option 1: Repair/replace work to be done on the first 0’ – 15.5’ (linear feet) of the deck, going east to west.

Option 2: Repair/replace work to be done 15.5’ – 31’ (linear feet) of the deck, going east to west.

Option 3: Repair/replace work to be done 31’ – 46.5’ (linear feet) of the deck, going east to west.

Option 4: Repair/replace work to be done 46.5’ – 62’ (linear feet) of the deck, going east to west.

Options can be priced out in the bid schedule on page.

C. Substructure

Minor debris was noted on the bridge seats. There are some missing nuts and washers on the thru bolts at the pile caps.

Note contractor is responsible for final measurements for this contract.
