Each year the County inspects approximately 50%of its bridges on an alternating basis to comply with the <br /> NBIS requirement of a 24-month routine inspection cycle. Inspection reports are then submitted to the <br /> Washington State Department of Transportation. Bridge files including inspection report history are on <br /> file in the Public Works office, both in a paper and digital format. During these inspections potential <br /> problems and maintenance issues are identified and documented. <br /> BRIDGE PROJECT TEN-YEAR HISTORY <br /> 2024 <br /> The Liberty Road bridge replacement project over Swauk Creek was completed in the fall of 2024.This <br /> new prestressed concrete slab structure with cast in place concrete deck and concrete barrier replaces a <br /> weight restricted and structurally deficient bridge. This project was funded with federal funds. <br /> The Cooke Canyon Road bridge replacement project over the Hiline Canal was completed in the spring <br /> of 2024. This new prestressed concrete slab structure replaces a weight restricted and structurally <br /> deficient bridge. This project was funded with federal funds. <br /> The Faust Road bridge replacement project over Town Ditch was completed in the spring of 2024. This <br /> is also a new prestressed concrete slab structure replacing a weight restricted, structurally deficient <br /> bridge. This project was also funded with federal funds. <br /> 2023 <br /> A new Pre-stressed Concrete T-girder bridge was constructed on North Fork Teanaway Road crossing <br /> the North Fork Teanaway River replacing a weight restricted concrete structure with previous accident <br /> damage. This project was funded with federal funds. <br /> Also new in 2023, a Prestressed Concrete T-girder bridge on the Vantage Highway replaced an aging and <br /> weight restricted timber element bridge that crosses the Cascade canal. <br /> During the winter of 2023,Cooke Canyon Bridge (Bridge no.80181) and Faust Road Bridge (Bridge no. <br /> 88212) have been removed and the new structures are currently under construction with an estimated <br /> completion date of spring of 2024. <br /> 2022 <br /> Improvements were completed along Kachess Lake Road at mile post 2.75.This removed the 36-inch CMP <br /> and constructed an 18-ft wide box culvert, Bridge no. 13072 (OB). Stream channel work was completed <br /> to improve conveyance as well as minimize required maintenance from spring runoff events. <br /> Extensive preventative maintenance was completed on the North Thorp Highway Bridge (Bridge no. <br /> 97341) spanning the Yakima River. The work performed is to extend the life of the NSTM structure. The <br /> paint system was removed, and a new paint system applied.Joint repairs and strip seals at the end of the <br /> bridges were also improved.Truss portals, which had been damaged from impact of oversize loads were <br /> repaired. <br /> Construction began on the replacement of structure no. 89342 located on Vantage Hwy at mile post 5.24 <br /> over the Cascade Canal.The existing timber bridge was damaged and load rated. Construction work was <br /> planned to occur over the winter during the time irrigation flows are reduced. <br /> Kittitas County 2024 Annual Bridge Report <br />
