DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The present structure is a three-span, prestressed concrete multi-beam bridge built in 1971.
PROPOSED CORRECTIVE ACTION:
It is proposed to replace the entire structure with either a steel beam/concrete deck superstructure or a through truss and concrete deck on new concrete abutments and wing walls and upgrading the guide rail system to current standards.
