EAST ARMUCHEE RD @ EAST ARMUCHEE CREEK 1.5 MI S OF VILLANOW

construction work program

This bridge (295-0039-0; East Armuchee Rd at East Armuchee Creek) was built in 1973. The bridge consists of 3 spans of reinforced concrete deck girders on concrete wall units. The design load is unknown. This bridge is posted for load restriction due to extensive concrete deterioration throughout and the low original design capacity of the structure. The bridge is also scour critical. The bottom side of the deck has very extensive transverse and longitudinal cracking with leakage and efflorescence. The beams have minor to moderate cracking throughout. One abutment has an exposed footer and undermining with exposed piling that consists of guardrail posts and railroad track rails. A replacement structure is required to upgrade this structure to a point where posting is no longer required.
