The existing two-lane bridge at this location was built in 1918. It had narrow lanes and no shoulders, and no longer met current design standards for safety and operations. The new two-lane bridge more than doubled the width of the current bridge at a finished 67 feet. It provides motorists with two 12-foot-wide lanes in each direction, 8-foot-wide shoulders, and a 14-foot-wide center median. For pedestrians and bicyclists, the bridge has two 5-foot-wide raised sidewalks in each direction.
The new super structure is three spans of cast-in-place, post-tensioned box girders and concrete deck. The pier foundation system includes four 48-inch-diameter cast-in-drilled-hole concrete piles with isolation casings located at the first easternmost piling. The abutments are founded on six 36-inch diameter cast-in-drilled-hole concrete piles with isolation steel casings located at the first and second easternmost piling. The pier piling is anchored into an 18-foot-deep rock socket, and the abutment piling is anchored by a 10-foot rock socket. The new bridge structure deck elevation is approximately 635-feet, which is 8-feet above the 100 year flood elevation.
