Abernathy Creek Bridge Tender

Project Limits: Mileposts 4.33 to 4.36
Federal Classification: Rural Minor Collector (08)
Project Description: This project will repaint the steel
members of the bridge.
Basis for Project: The paint has reached the end of its life
and needs to be replaced. The bridge will begin rusting at an
accelerated rate without the new paint leading to a need to
replace the bridge.
Environmental/Safety Concerns: Bridges need to be carefully repainted to prevent the release of
hazardous materials into the environment. During construction all required environmental protections will be
followed.
Without repainting the bridge will deteriorate more rapidly which could eventually lead to structural collapse.
Funding Sources: This project has been selected for funding through the Federal Bridge Program. The match
will come from local road funds.
