Document Description
The bridge is a 105-foot timber pile trestle ballast deck bridge that was constructed in 1928. Due to the age and material used to construct the bridge, the bridge has become structurally unsafe for continued rail traffic. The high volume of rail activity along the Union Pacific rail line warrants the bridge to be replaced before it structurally fails.
The Union Pacific Railroad is proposing to replace an existing 8-span, 105-foot timber pile ballast deck bridge (B-110.86) at mile 110.86 of the railroad's Valley Subdivision. B-110.86 crosses Pleasant Grove Creek. The proposed replacement structure for the bridge will consist of a 4-span, 120-foot box girder bridge, will be placed on the existing abutments. On-track equipment will be utilized to drive piles for the new bents to support the bridge. No excavation is required within the creek. The existing bridge currently has rip-rap in place to handle a 100-year storm event. No additional armoring is required. The project staging area would be on the upland area adjacent to the tracks.
