2. Bridge Rail Improvements -Code 3 <br />a. Phase 1 -County Maintenance Districts A -F <br />L 19 bridges or structures <br />b. Phase 2- County Maintenance Districts G-1 <br />L 21 bridges or structures <br />c. Phase 3- County Maintenance Districts J -L <br />L 20 bridges or structures <br />Due to the large number of locations needing improvements, it would be cost prohibitive to <br />provide improvements for all locations in a single project. As a result, countywide bridge rail <br />improvements will be executed in a series of projects. Each phase priority will include a number <br />of locations that are grouped by County Maintenance Districts, and sized to be manageable <br />phases for design and construction. The projects were first ranked based on the inadequacy of <br />the bridge rail and then by the location in which the greatest benefit would be achieved. <br />Although not specifically identified through the risk-based prioritization scoring, this project is a <br />high priority for Kittitas County due to the number of locations observed to be at high risk with <br />the potential for high severity accidents throughout the entire county road system. The <br />potential accidents that this project would prevent are serious injury and fatal accidents. The <br />county has identified this widespread hazard and is taking a proactive, systemic approach to <br />reduce the potential for future accidents. <br />There have been 60 bridges rated as Code 3; this rating reflects bridges with timber railing or no <br />railing at all. Of all the bridges identified with substandard rail, these bridges or structures have <br />the highest vulnerability because they provide no protection for an errant vehicle. <br />3.
