Scope of Work:
The primary objective of the projects is to provide bridge rehabilitation for the Old Roosevelt Bridge. The bridge rehabilitation project will include:
- Replace span locks which connect the two halves of the movable bridge deck when the bridge is in the “down” position
- Renovate the bridge tender house
- Filling in open grating with concrete to improve the rideability of the shoulders so bikes can safely stay in the road
- Improving maintenance access to electrical and mechanical components
- Bridge painting as needed
- Miscellaneous repairs to:
- Fender
- Sanitary Line
- Grating Repairs
- Deck Sealing
Construction Impacts:
- Work will be done in phases to reduce the effects of construction on the community
- Full and partial bridge closures will occur only during specific phases and detours will be provided utilizing US-1.
- Temporary lane closures will be required for some phases (such as minor repaving) and will occur during non-peak hours.
- Marine vessel traffic will be maintained with temporary closure on half the channel during fender construction.
- Another public meeting (Construction Open House) will be held prior to construction. Detailed information about how to keep informed of potential construction impacts will be provided at this meeting.
- Temporary modification to the draw bridge operation schedule will be coordinated with the United States Coast Guard.
