ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS
Sealed bids for Bridge Repairs of Langhorne Road over Blackwater Creek and Ivy Creek, will be received by the
City of Lynchburg, Procurement Division, 3rd Floor City Hall, 900 Church Street, Lynchburg, VA 24504, until 3:00
PM, August 19, 2026, and then publicly opened and read in the Customer Conference Room, 1st Floor, City Hall.
Bid Documents may be viewed and downloaded from the City's Procurement website:
https://www.lynchburgva.gov/Bids.aspx.
The bridge structures located on Langhorne Road over Blackwater Creek and Ivy Creek (Structure Number 1848
and 1847 respectively) are owned and maintained by the City of Lynchburg, VA. The structure crossing
Blackwater Creek has a clear roadway width of 30'-0" with one simple multi-beam span with a total length of
87'-2". The structure crossing Ivy Creek has a clear roadway width of 30'-0" with two reinforced concrete tee-
beam spans with a total length of 84'-10". Both structures have a sidewalk on the upstream side.
The repairs slated for the structure crossing Blackwater Creek include replacing the expansion joints at each
abutment, replacing the bearing assemblies for each beam at Abutment B, cleaning, preparing, and recoating
existing structural steel, performing concrete repairs on the substructure and deck, placing epoxy overlay on
deck and sidewalk, coating concrete parapets with concrete surface color coating, and incidental approach
roadway improvements.
The repairs scheduled for the structure crossing Ivy Creek include replacing the expansion joint at Pier 1,
performing concrete repairs on the beams, substructure and deck, placing epoxy overlay on deck and sidewalk,
coating concrete parapets with concrete surface color coating, replacing the deck drains, and incidental
approach roadway improvements.
Due to the similar repairs that are required at each structure and the close proximity of the bridges, the two
projects are combined into one repair project. During construction, traffic will be reduced to one lane for each
of the two stages with vehicular traffic controlled by temporary traffic signals. Each temporary traffic signal will
be equipped with a compatible Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption Transmitter that will allow EMS vehicles to
control the signals during emergency operations.
An optional Pre-Bid Meeting will be held virtually using the Teams meeting link posted on the Procurement
website on July 29, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST.
