Description: B-3483 - JONES COUNTY LOCATION: BRIDGE #19 -- SR 1004 over Mill Creek
ITEM(S) OF INTEREST: A small bridge replacement recently completed. This bridge is a good example of a project where the Department did not excessively widen the bridge compared to the bridge approaches.
Observations and Points of Discussion:
2-span cored slab bridge with a two bar metal rail.
The bridge had and "A"-frame bent which increases the potential for debris collection
This is a good example of a project where the Department did not excessively widen the bridge.
Tangent alignment and grade made this site suitable for limited work on approach roadway.
The Bridge Maintenance Unit suggested eliminating restrainer blocks on cored slab bridges that are detailed with dowels. .
