JM Davidson Engineering, D.P.C. (JMD) was contracted by the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYSOPRHP) to address a Red Structural Flag that was issued for deteriorated steel girders during the 2019 NYSDOT Biennial Bridge Inspection. The bridge is a two span steel girder structure and provides the only access to one of the maintenance shops in the park. Addressing the red flag and reopening the bridge was a top priority for the park. A Level One load rating was performed on the bridge and it was found the girders, even with significant deterioration, still had capacity to carry a legal live load and the bridge was reopened. JMD is currently working with NYSOPRHP to investigate superstructure replacement options to address the long–term functionality of the bridge.
