Presentation Goals

Alternatives Considered  Continued Maintenance  Rehabilitation  Replacement

Bridge Replacement Recommended Bridge Replacement  Same Location  Raise Bridge Slightly on Same Alignment  Wider bridge with sidewalk on one side

Work Zone Traffic Control Options  Staged Construction  Temporary Bridge Detour  Temporary Bridge Detour  Off-Site Detour

Work Zone Traffic Control Policy Off-Site Detours are preferred • Lower Costs • Shortens Construction • Shortens Construction • Safer for Motorists • Safer for Workers

Detour Considerations • School Impacts • Bikes & Pedestrians • Emergency Services • Mitigation Measures Look at total detour cost

STAGED CONSTRUCTION EXISTING BRIDGE OPEN 11’+/- lane EXISTING BRIDGE REMOVAL PHASE I CONSTRUCTION NEW BRIDGE EXISTING BRIDGE OPEN REMOVAL PHASE II CONSTRUCTION

PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES • Generally no need for Property Generally no need for Property • Worker/Traffic Safety Acquisitions • Difficult to Work Around • Less Inconvenience w/ Traffic • Requires More Time & Cost More to Build • 2 Season Job

Owego /Maple Street Detour Bridge

Feasibility: • Bridge • Roadway Width & Durability • Operational Issues • Operational Issues Residential Area: • More Traffic • Truck Traffic • Pedestrian Safety

Discarded Off-Site Detour Options • Narrow sections • Gravel roads • Inadequate sight distances • Inadequate sight distances • Steep grades

Discarded Off-Site Detour Options Routes outside of Spencer • Costly to send all traffic this way TOTAL COST= User Cost + Construction Cost

Addressing Your Concerns • Trucks • Pedestrians • Children • Bridge • Narrow street • Narrow street • Narrow bridge • Speeding • Road durability • Main Street • Emergency Service

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES • Minimal Impact to Motorist • Residential Area • Safer for Worker/Traffic • Safer for Worker/Traffic • Single-Lane Bridge • Likely a One Season • Truck Compliance • Retain Improvements

Final Detour Options  STAGED  TEMPORARY BRIDGE  OFF-SITE DETOUR

Temporary Bridge vs. Off-site Detour Off Site Detour Temporary Bridge Advantages Advantages • Improves local streets • Convenient to all motorist • Worker/Motorist safety • No Truck Detour • One Season Job • More Construction Area • More Construction Area Disadvantages Disadvantages • No Remaining Value • Less Convenient • Business Impacts • Business Impacts • Worker/Motorist safety • Limited room to build • Likely Two Season Job

Temporary Bridge vs. Off-site Detour Off Site Detour Temporary Bridge Total costs for User and Const Total costs for User and Const Construction: $0.194M Construction: $0.833M User Costs: User Costs: $0.255M $0.255M User Costs: User Costs: $0.000M $0.000M $0.449M $0.833M

Off-Site Detour Preferred • Least Total Costs • Worker/Motorist Safety • Worker/Motorist Safety • Improves Local Streets • Shortens Construction
