Eads Bridge Repairs – Approaches, Arcades and Spans
Project Description
Eads Bridge and its approaches have a total length of 4,515-ft, which includes the 5 distinct sections of the bridge: West Approach, West Arcade, River Span, East Arcade and East Approach. In general, the project will include activities to repair and preserve all sections of the bridge. Work on the West Approach, West Arcade and East Arcade include the following: Brick Tuckpointing; Sandstone Tuckpointing; Brick Replacement; Stone Replacement / Re-Facing; Wall Crack Repair — to correct deficiencies caused by differential expansion/contraction; Repair Steel Lintel Beams at West Stairwell; Remove wooden shed & other debris from West Stairwell; Replace windows and other brick in-filled windows on West Stairwell with Brick In-fill; Concrete Repair; Clean & Paint Second St Bridge (bottom flanges); Remove bird waste & Install bird controls under Clamorgan Alley Bridge; Remove loose concrete from North entrance to abandoned walkway. Work on the river span include minor structural repair items since the entire river span underwent extensive rehabilitation from 2010 to 2012. The work includes repairs to structural elements such as bearing bolts, rivets, flanges, link plates, minor painting and other items noted in the inspection report. The East Approach is in relatively good condition; however the painting system and steel deck girders show some deficiencies, which will be addressed as part of the project.
This project is needed to improve the structural condition of the Eads bridge and reduce safety risks. The Eads Bridge is a historical monument still in use after 150-yrs and requires continual. The previous bridge rehabilitation project completed in 2016 for the main river spans (1,627-ft) significantly improved the structural condition ratings in these main river spans to an adequate level as a minimum, and in most cases, very good levels. However, the condition ratings of masonry components in the Arcades and Approaches remain marginal due to continued deterioration from age, weather exposure, and uncontrolled drainage.
