Overview
A Rehabilitation Studies Report (RSR) for the Cribari Bridge – a historic swing bridge, listed on the National Register of Historic Places - was conducted to explore rehabilitation options. The completed RSR was presented to the public on June 15, 2016 and is included in the documents section below. This bridge project was originally initiated because routine inspections identified the need for rehabilitation work, primarily to vehicular collision-damaged truss elements and corroded pile cross bracing. The more detailed investigations conducted as part of the RSR process have revealed substantially more structural deficiencies and significant highway functional deficiencies. The cost to address the structural deficiencies may require major rehabilitation of the structure at a much greater construction cost than originally estimated. Due to a projected high cost of major bridge rehabilitation work and difficulty of maintaining traffic flow while performing rehabilitation work, a complete bridge replacement option was also studied in the RSR, to provide a baseline cost comparison between bridge rehabilitation and bridge replacement.
