Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge

December 12, 2012

• 63-years-old, End of Useful Life

• Replacement Due to:

o Age and Condition,

o Functional Limitations, and

o Importance to the District’s Transportation Network and Plans

• Deterioration Requires Repairs with Increasing Frequency, Cost and Traffic Impacts

Presenter
Presentation Notes
It’s no secret that the 63-year-old Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge is functionally obsolete and needs to be replaced. For all practical and financial purposes, the swing-span drawbridge is at the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced the due to its: age and condition; functional limitations; and critical importance to the District’s transportation network and economic development plans. Despite DDOT’s on-going maintenance efforts, the aging bridge continues to deteriorate, requiring repairs with increasing frequency, cost and traffic impacts. As the bridge continues to age, these repairs/costs/impacts will increase further.

Deterioration and Repairs • Trucks Restricted from Right Lanes

• Inspections every 6 months.

• Recent Inspection Identified $800,000 in Needed Repairs in 2013

• $110 – 120 million in Major Repairs in 5 to 10 Years,

• Replacing the Swing Span Requires

o Closing Bridge for More Than a Year

o Re-routing More Than 70,000 Vehicles, Bicyclists and Pedestrians Daily

December 12, 2012

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Due to continued deterioration and to extend the bridge’s useful life, trucks are currently restricted from using the right lane in each direction and we have increase bridge inspections from every year to every six months. Recent inspections identified structural deficiencies requiring about $800,000 in repairs we will have our maintenance contractors perform in early 2013, with minimal impact on traffic. But we also anticipate needing to do additional maintenance work over the next five year to keep the bridge safe and open for use. If not replaced, the bridge would need an estimated $110 -120 million in major repairs within the next 5-15 years, including replacement of the swing span. Replacing the swing span would require fully closing the bridge for more than a year and re-routing the 70,000 motor vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians who depend on the bridge daily -- all without any of the additional benefits of the new bridge.
