BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM

Responsible Use of Bridge Funds
The use of grant programs (credit bridge, OPWC) allows us to

leverage our bridge replacement funds 2 to 1 over the next 6 years.

The next 6 years we have $6,941,250 worth of bridge

replacement projects planned and the countys portion is $3,127,876.

6 YEAR PLAN REPLACES 46 BRIDGES, BUT 48 BRIDGES

BECOME DEFICIENT

BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM

The Problem
6 yr. bridge program replaces 46 bridges, but 48 bridges become deficient 39 load reduced replacement cost $4,820.483 79 deficient bridges replacement cost of $9,726.705

Even with grant funding Not able to make progress towards the backlog of deficient bridges Need to replace 17 bridges a year for 10 years to catch up Currently only able to do 7 per year
