Old Glensfork Road Bridge is Open! From Gale B. Cowan Adair County Judge Executive This project began in January 2021. The original structure built around 1955, consisted of 2 steel plate arches, each spanning 21 feet wide and almost 7 feet tall, bearing on standard concrete footings. We received a letter from the District 8 Transportation Office in Somerset that they had lowered the weight limit on the Old Glensfork Road bridge structure from 18 Ton down to 3 Ton. When I inquired as to why the drastic change, so suddenly, Michael Edwards, P.E., Engineering Support Branch for Structures, KYTC District 8, stated that "Following a statewide load rating analysis of select steel culverts, our bridge preservation engineers determined the posting was necessary due to deterioration and insufficient supporting material above the pipes. The culverts require a minimum amount of fill on top of the barrels in order to rate out, and these did not meet that minimum." This low of a posting means school busses, dump trucks, and farm equipment can't safely cross the structure. We worked with District 8 office for several months to see if the state could correct the issues with the structure because we did not have the resources to take on the job ourselves. When they said they didn't have the manpower to do it, I contacted Engineer Gregory Eastham to look at the structure and get his recommendations on adding fill between the existing culverts and blacktop or replacing the structure completely. His examination of the structure showed significant deterioration in the footings and channel support brackets, and he recommended the complete structure be replaced. This is when I went to Frankfort seeking funding for the project. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2022-11-14 17:20:29 | Comments | Printable version
