Appraisal
Structural: Basically intolerable requiring high priority of corrrective action [3]
Deck Geometry: Basically intolerable requiring high priority of replacement [2]
Road Alignment: Somewhat better than minimum adequacy to tolerate being left in place as is [5]
Waterway: Equal to present minimum criteria [6] and Bridge is scour critical; bridge foundations determined to be unstable. [3]
Inspections
Date: October 1999 [1099] and Frequency: 24
Future Work
Work Needed: Replacement of bridge or other structure because of substandard load carrying capacity or substantial bridge roadway geometry. [31]
