Project Purpose & Need

6

• Bridges were constructed 1964.

• The bridges are structurally deficient

with sufficiency ratings of 35.8 for the NB bridge and 29.4 for the SB bridge. The deck and the superstructure have a general condition rating of 4. The substructure has a general condition rating of 5.

• Has fatigue prone details. Needs to be

inspected every 6 months. The bridges were painted in 1995.

• The minimum vertical clearance is 14’-

11” under NBL; 15’-02” under SBL. • The bridges have required deck patching

and other repairs several times since 2010 with the most recent instance being a deck patching operation on February 15, 2017.

Project Overview

• Replace Bridges I-81 over Route 8

• Maintain two lanes of traffic each direction during construction

• Maintain interchange function • Do NOT preclude future

interchange configurations • MASH compliant MGS

guardrail • Right of Way Acquisition • Employ “Common Sense

Engineering” (IIM-LD-255)

Project Overview • RFQ Project Limits:

From 0.381 Mi. South to 0.510 Mi. North of Christiansburg SCL

Approximately 0.891 Mi. RFQ reflects DPH design done to facilitate an additional lane in each

direction on I-81 with minimal rework as well as facilitate MOT during construction. This is reflected in the geometry of the ramps. Future ramp gores would require some regrading and paving. Of further note:

Full depth shoulders were provided to facilitate future widening and possible use for incidents, maintenance or as a congestion bypass.

More extensive (worst case) milling and paving limits were shown to provide new pavement and accommodate new pavement markings. This included the ramps, portions of accel./decel. lanes and tapers. The limits were squared across lanes for a clean project outline.

Ramp A (NB Exit) was shifted to facilitate future widening and led to the relocation of Flanagan Drive to maintain the minimum 100’ urban access control distance from ramp intersection return and to provide some additional queuing length for future Route 8/NB I-81 ramp intersection approach.
