County schedules nondestructive testing after bridge repairs; replacement remains multi‑year prospect
Summary
Public works staff reported contractor repairs completed per design, an additional crack that required repair, and Terracon nondestructive testing to confirm fixes; county bridge replacement funding via the County Bridge Construction Fund could take several years if awarded.
County staff updated the board that contractors have completed repairs recommended by Origin Design and that Terracon will perform nondestructive testing to verify those fixes before the bridge is reopened. The staff report noted an additional crack discovered during repairs was addressed and cautioned that testing could reveal further needs; staff said, “we will then follow‑up with Origin to do their overall bridge inspection to reopen the bridge.”
Staff reminded supervisors that the County's previous applications to the County Bridge Construction Fund resulted in awards for other projects and that even if a future replacement grant is successful, replacement from notice of award would likely be roughly three years out. Supervisors acknowledged the tradeoff between reopening quickly and ensuring safety and asked for the test results to determine next steps.
