SR 105 Elk River Bridge Deck Rehabilitation - Bay City

On time: Good The project was completed 9 days ahead of schedule On Budget: Good The project came in about $84,000 under the $881,000 budget

The Elk River Bridge on SR 105 was built in the mid-1950s. The bridge deck was worn out, allowing water to seep into the bridge, forming rust on the rebar and causing the concrete to expand and delaminate. To preserve the bridge, the contractor, Concrete Barrier, Inc., poured a new deck with a seal that will extend the life of the driving surface for another 20 to 30 years, thus preserving a valuable connection between Bay City and Westport. Motorists will have a smoother ride as a result.

In addition, the curb and railing of the bridge were replaced to bring them up to current standards, increasing safety.

Other notes:
Port of Tacoma Grade Separation, Marvin Road and Trosper Road were essentially all constructed with other people's money.
