SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
This bridge was constructed in 1989 and is located approximately 0.25 miles south of State Highway 52 on Weld County Road (WCR) 3. This is a single-span bridge with a corrugated metal deck supported by steel girders on concrete abutments, and spans over the Lower Boulder Ditch.
In May 2022, staff retained RockSol Consulting who prepared preliminary and final construction plans for replacement of the existing bridge with a concrete box-culvert structure, upgrades to the bridge guard rails and reconstruction of the roadway over the bridge.
In February 2023, the CDOT Bridge Inspection Program notified the Town that the WCR 3 bridge was inspected and was designated as requiring "Essential
Repairs;" a designation that recommends replacement of the existing corrugated steel deck due to severe corrosion, within a year of the notification.
In April 2023, CDOT selected the project to receive a $1,036,368 CDOT Off-System Bridge Grant for construction costs to replace the existing bridge and roadway using a box-culvert bridge design. In October 2023, the Town executed an Intergovernmental Agreement with CDOT; accepting the grant, in accordance with Town Resolution No. 23-112.
