Upper San Simon Culvert Bridge Replacement Project
.

This project is located on Haekel Road approximately 27.5 miles south of Safford AZ in Graham County. The project consists of the replacement of the 5 existing culverts with 5 new 42" x 29" galvanized steel pipe-arch culverts extending out on both ends and to replace roadway material. Roadway is 25.5' x 20'. Bottom of wash to top of road is approximately 4'. Dirt cover width is approximately 44'. Geo-technical and hydrology tests will not be needed as the project is to replace what is already existing with new culverts. New culverts will need to be coated to help prevent corrosion. Rip-Rap will be placed around culvert pipes on both ends and grouted to prevent erosion. All current material and pipes will be disposed of properly. Before construction begins, a gravel road detour will need to be established for emergency vehicle use. Detour road will need to be able to handle all construction equipment, tractor trailers, and public vehicles. Roadway above culverts will need to be flush with existing road and crowned to add proper drainage of water. Cover for culverts will be a minimum of 12" of aggregate base. 4" asphalt road depth and flush with existing road width will then be paved over the aggregate base to finish the road. Road will need to be demolished and paved 5 ft. past culverts on each side and in between. Join new paved road with existing road on both ends. Current pipes are 42" x 29" corrugated steel pipe-arch culverts. Each culvert is 58' long. Culverts are about 0.1" thick which correlates to gauge 12 steel. Culvert corrugations are 2-2/3" x ½". Permanent traffic pavement markings will need to be painted correctly and connected to adjoined pavements.
The period of performance for this requirement is 45 days.
