BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: N/A
Background: Highway Department staff solicited quotes for the installation of helper bents on the Pine Grove Road Extension over Styx River bridge (Bridge #019). The lowest quote was received from Newell and Bush, Inc. During an inspection of the bridge, County personnel noted crushing and slitting of abutment piles and lowered the substructure grade resulting in required load posting of the bridge. The proposed work includes constructing steel helper bents beside both abutments to provide structural support as a temporary measure until the bridge can be replaced. Funding for the design of a new bridge to replace this structure was approved under the FY21 budget.
