Description

The Paint Creek Trailways Commission is seeking engineering design services for Paint Creek Trail Bridge 33.7. The Commission’s objective is to replace a 93 year old timber railroad bridge that is 61’ long, and less than 9’ wide, with a universal design bridge to greatly improve accessibility for both trail users as well as emergency and maintenance vehicles. We are interested in designs and structure options that require almost no maintenance during the life of the bridge, and are aesthetically appropriate for the Paint Creek Trail. The proposed bridge designs shall also satisfy the following conditions:

Minimum clear bike/multi-use path width of 14 feet
Bicycle speed of 20mph
The structure shall be designed for 90 psf pedestrian live load and a 10-ton (20,000 pound) emergency vehicle loading
The live load deflection shall not exceed 1/500 of the span length

In addition, the proposed bridge designs shall be designed in accordance with the current AASHTO Specifications for Highway Bridges, the AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
