Design Engineering and Preliminary Environmental Consulting Services are required by the Imperial County Public Works Department (County). The County proposes replacing the existing Gentry Road Bridge over Vail Canal. The project includes the demolition, removal and disposal of the existing bridge, abutments, piles, road surfacing and approaches with replacement with reinforced concrete double bay box culvert and the roadway to be reconstructed on the same alignment. The purpose of the proposed project is to replace the existing 1936 wood bridge with a reinforced concrete double bay box culvert that would satisfy current design and seismic standards. The existing bridge is an approximately 25 foot long, two-span bridge with all pile bents in the canal. The proposed reinforced concrete double bay box culvert will ensure the canal flow is not impeded.
