PROJECT DETAILS:

The purpose of this project is to provide a repair to the Mud Mountain

Dam Bridge Pier located at the outlet of the 9 ft tunnel. The scope includes the design of the

bridge pier repair, completion of environmental consultation, award of a construction

contract, construction oversight and contract closeout.

The MM05 Outlet Works Bridge at Mud Mountain Dam is a two-span bridge that carries

equipment and personnel over the discharge of the 9 ft tunnel for access to the 23 ft tunnel.

Each span has two prestressed concrete girders with a CIP concrete deck. These spans are

supported by reinforced concrete abutments at the ends and a single reinforced concrete

column at the center pier. Over time, the sediment-laden flow from the 9 ft tunnel has

destroyed the stainless-steel pier nose guard and has eroded the concrete pier to a point where

the rebar cage in the blast zone is fully exposed and undermined. The current estimate is that

rebar is exposed/undermined along 65% of the pier’s perimeter over a height of 10-15 feet.

The bridge was red tagged by the Bridge Safety team in 2022, disallowing use of the bridge

to vehicle and foot traffic. Risk of a bridge collapse exists and increases with each year the

repairs are not made.

The magnitude of construction is expected to be $3.7 Million to $4.3 Million. Main cost

drivers being the in-water work, complexity of the project, and the remoteness of the site.
