Condition Description: There are currently no reported scour concerns and the NBIS Scour<br />

Rating considers the bridge “Stable for Assessed Scour Conditions”.<br />

Repair Scope: None required.<br />

Rehabilitation Scope: None required.<br />

Functionality and Safety: The waterway bottom surface does not affect the functionality and<br />

safety of the bridge.<br />

Load Capacity: The predicted local pier scour during a major storm event for the pile bents is<br />

approximately 4 feet, which will reduce the axial load carrying capacity and lateral stability. The<br />

foundation capacity of many of the piles is unknown as there are no pile driving records<br />

indicating the depth to which the piles were installed or the driving resistance that was achieved.<br />

Although it is likely that the piles were driven to dense sandy glacial till material found 40 to 50<br />

feet below the river bed, this cannot be confirmed. Although there is no reported significant<br />

settlement or loss in stability, the factors of safety for both axial capacity and lateral stability are<br />

unknown.<br />

Maintenance: There are no reported maintenance concerns with the current waterway bottom<br />

surface and no proposed changes that would affect the maintenance.<br />

Visual Impacts: There are no proposed changes that would introduce a visual impact.<br />
