Subject: Bridge Inspection Update
ISSUE:
In light of the recent bridge collapse in Minneapolis does Tukwila have any Steel Deck
Truss Bridges or bridges that have been rated as being "Structurally Deficient
DISCUSSION
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
With the recent collapse of the I -35 W Bridge in Minnesota, much of the nationwide
discussion has focused on bridges being classified as "structurally deficient." Because of
the media attention, unfortunately these discussions have led to confusion as to the term's
actual meaning
A structurally deficient bridge is one whose condition or design has impacted its ability to
adequately carry its intended traffic loads. In other words, it means that a bridge has a
problem and needs repair, replacement of a certain component, or in the worse case
replacement of the bridge itself. If the condition is such that it no longer is capable to
carry its intended traffic loads, then the bridge may be weight restricted. Being
structurally deficient does not imply that the bridge is in danger of collapse or unsafe
to the traveling public.
The bridge sufficiency rating is the basis for establishing eligibility and priority for
replacement or rehabilitation with federal funds. The sufficiency rating is a numeric
value that indicates a bridge's relative ability to serve its intended purpose. The value
ranges from 100 to 0. In general, the lower the sufficiency rating, the higher the priority
for rehabilitation or replacement. To qualify for replacement, a bridge must have a
sufficiency rating of less than 50.0 and be structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.
To be eligible for rehabilitation, a bridge must have a sufficiency rating of 80.0 or less
and be structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. In addition the bridges must be
greater than ten years old.
Tukwila has twenty (20) different bridges. Tukwila does not have any steel deck truss
bridges similar to the collapsed bridge in Minneapolis. In accordance with Federal and
State guidelines, these 20 bridges are meticulously inspected every two years and the
1
ti
primary bridge components bridge decks, superstructures, and substructures are rated
during these inspections.
Tukwila does have a structurally deficient bridge Boeing Access Rd Bridge (over the
railroads). It was built in 1945 and is a concrete and steel girder type bridge. Because
the substructure has problems several pedestals are leaning, there is concrete spalling,
exposed rusty anchor bolts and reinforcements, and some cracking and it has seismic
deficiencies, it has been rated as structurally deficient. The bridge is monitored through
regular inspections. The bridge's Sufficiency Rating is 22.2 and it has been included in
the 2007 CIP, page 32, for replacement. Because of a lack of federal funds (funds go to
WSDOT) there has not been a call for new replacement projects since 2004. The
application will be resubmitted later this year.
Tukwila also has four (4) "functionally obsolete" bridges S. 180 Street Bridge (over
Green River), S. Grady Way Bridge (over railroads), Boeing Access Rd Bridge (over
Airport Way), and 42 Avenue South Bridge. A functionally obsolete bridge is one
where the deck geometry, load carrying capacity, clearance, or approach roadway
alignment has reduced its ability to adequately meet the traffic needs below accepted
design standards.
Tukwila also has a number of bridges that are seismically deficient. Sargent Engineers
performed a detailed inspection in 2003. Of the 20, Sargent Engineers has identified 10
bridges and the placed them in priority order for repairs. At the top of the list are four
bridges the Boeing Access Rd Bridge over Airport Way, Boeing Access Rd Bridge over
the railroads, South Grady Way Bridge (over the railroads), and the S. 180 Street Bridge
over the Green River.
RECOMMENDATION
Continue with the City's aggressive inspection program, continue to fund repairs as part
of the budget, and resubmit the replacement application for the Boeing Access Rd.
Bridge (over the railroads).
