Document Description
The Project involves repair of portions of the bridge that were damaged during the January 2024 flood events. The bridge provides critical transportation services, including the MTS Trolley Blue Line that has trains passing at 7.5-minute intervals, and freight railroad traffic. The storm event caused significant erosion along the northern bridge abutment removing soil beneath the abutment footing, removing rip-rap on the downstream side, and removing railroad track ballast from behind the abutment. Implementation of the critical repairs prior to the winter 2024-2025 storm season is requested to help prevent further damage to the bridge. The repairs will return the bridge abutment and associated slopes to safe conditions, while limiting impacts to aquatic resources during the repair process to the extent feasible.
