RE: Lakewood Pedestrian Bridge Approach Repair Recommendation
Wayne,
The approach pavement to the Lakewood Bridge has settled significantly and voids were detected
below the pavement around the abutments. The approach pavement no longer meets ADA
requirements. The railing posts were installed with some of the posts set in the approach slab and
some posts set in the retaining wall bordering the approach slab. This installation has caused
distress at the post anchor points due to the differential movement of the slab and retaining wall.
The concrete surrounding most of the posts has cracked and the end of the retaining wall adjacent to
the left abutment cap is badly damaged.
Our recommendation is to remove and replace the approach pavement and remove and reset
portions of the railing mounted on the approach slab. The soil should be recompacted and voids
filled and a layer of aggregate base added. The first panel of the approach slab should be thickened
at the abutment similar to the original design, and steel reinforcement should be added to prevent
future cracking due to settlement. The railing should be modified to prevent any further damage to
the new approach slab and existing retaining wall. The railing should be mounted to the slab
separate from the railing on the retaining wall and a gap should be left in the railing to allow for
differential movement. Modification of the railing would require cutting,welding,and repainting.
Since color matching may be difficult repainting all of the bridge railing should be considered. It is
also our recommendation that the approach slab repairs be completed on both the west and east
approaches at this time considering the repairs will be nearly identical and plan details could be
used on both approaches.
Please let me know if you would like us to go forward with the engineering and preparation of
details needed for the recommended repairs. If you have any questions please let me know.
Thank you,
6itu"""----
