Document Description
Draft MND No. 12-006 analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with a proposal to perform maintenance activities on the existing Warner Avenue Bridge that are intended to restore the integrity of its original design. The Warner Avenue Bridge was constructed in 1981. It is a three-span pre-stressed voided slab bridge with four traffic lanes and a pedestrian sidewalk along the north side. Parts of the bridge have deteriorated due to normal wear from vehicular traffic and from tidal flux of the estuarine ecosystem setting during the last three decades. The bridge concrete barriers are cracked and spalled (pieces of concrete have broken off) with exposed internal reinforcing that has noticeably corroded. The bridge columns and bent caps (tops of the bridge supports) have unsound concrete. The asphalt-concrete (AC) overlay on the bridge deck is also cracked. Rock slope protection is missing from the channel embankments near the bridge abutments, resulting in the erosion of the embankment and weakening of the bridge substructure.
