Description

This project provides for the replacement of the existing Piney Meetinghouse Road Bridge over Watts Branch. The existing bridge, built in 1950, is a single span concrete T-Beam structure carrying a 24 foot roadway. The proposed replacement bridge includes a single span prestressed concrete New England Extreme Tee (NEXT) beam structure carrying a 24 foot roadway and a 4 foot shoulder on each side. This width will allow for the implementation of safe on-road bicycling, in accordance with the Master Plan. The project includes approach roadway work at each end of the bridge as necessary to tie-in to the existing roadway. The bridge and road will be closed to traffic during construction. Accelerated bridge construction techniques will be utilized to minimize the disruption to the traveling public and local community.

Justification

The proposed replacement work is necessary to provide a safe roadway condition for the travelling public. The 2011 bridge inspection revealed that the concrete T-beams are in poor condition. All beams have several horizontal cracks with heavy efflorescence approximately 2 inches below the underside of the deck. The beams have several isolated spalls with exposed rebar. The undersides of the beams have moderate to severe scaling with exposed stirrups at several locations. All four wingwalls have a 1 foot 6 inch high band of minor scaling above the waterline. There are heavy efflorescence and spalls for both abutments. The bridge is considered structurally deficient. Implementation of this project would allow the bridge to be restored to full capacity. The Potomac Subregion Master Plan designates Piney Meetinghouse Road as Arterial (A-34) with a minimum right-of-way of 80 feet. The Countywide Bikeways Functional Master Plan calls for dual bikeway shared use path and signed shared roadway (DB-23). A review of impacts to pedestrians, bicyclists and the requirements of the ADA (American with Disabilities Act of 1991) has been performed and addressed by this project. Streetlights, crosswalks, sidewalk ramps, bikeways and other pertinent issues are being considered in the design of the project to ensure pedestrian safety.
