The projects provided emergency repairs to bridges on Paces Ferry Road, West Paces Ferry Road, Randall Mill Road and Northside Drive in the city of Atlanta, Georgia.
The Paces Ferry Road and West Paces Ferry Road bridges over Nancy Creek are located west of 1-75 at Paces Place. Flooding caused a washout at the southeast approach of the Paces Ferry Road bridge and a cap to be undermined at abutment 4 of the West Paces Ferry Road bridge. To repair the damage, riprap protection was installed at the eroded areas of the abutments and wingwalls for both bridges. The area of repair was approximately 45 feet long by 10 feet wide on the faces of all bents, equaling 1800 square feet. Approximately 75 percent of the material was replacement for what was eroded. All work occurred within the existing right-of-way.
The Randall Mill Road Bridge over Nancy Creek is between Conway Valley Road and Buckingham Circle. Flooding caused erosion and a crack in the wingwall at abutment 3. To repair the damage, the abutments, wingwall and pier were stabilized with riprap and the crack in the abutment wall was sealed. The area of riprap was approximately 40 feet long by 10 feet wide on the faces of bents 1 and 3 and both sides of bent 2, equaling 1600 square feet. Approximately 1/2 cubic yard of concrete was used to fill the crack and to repair the undermining. Approximately 75 percent of the material was replacement material. All work occurred within the existing right-of-way.
The Northside Drive Bridge over Nancy Creek is located south of Broadland Road and north of King Road. Flooding caused erosion in the area, and to repair the damage, the abutment and wingwalls were stabilized with riprap. The area of repair was approximately 20 feet long by 15 feet wide at the abutment and the wingwall areas, equaling 300 square feet. Approximately 60 percent of the material was replacement for what was eroded. All work occurred within the existing right-of-way.
