Existing Bridge Configuration

Background Bay of Quinte Skyway Bridge, Highway 49  Constructed 1964-1967  17 span high level bridge, 847 m long  Carries 2 lanes on N-S oriented traffic  Steel girders, concrete deck  5 continuous spans, 6 expansion joints  1992-dual columns replaced with single shaft at 3 piers

Existing Condition Deck:  Extensively deteriorated (corrosion)  Substandard barrier walls  Substandard lane width Girders:  Many fatigue prone details  general coating failure Substructure:  Generally sound except Pier 14 (beneath EJ)  Minor scour at Pier 13 footing  Abutments cannot accommodate widening

Bridge Rehabilitation Work  Replace superstructure  Reconstruct abutments, including new caissons, new wingwalls  Replace bridge bearings/alter bridge articulation  Eliminate expansion joints over piers  Rehabilitate and strengthen piers  New approach slabs  Reconstruct highway approaches to the bridge  Illumination

Rehabilitated Bridge Configuration  Continuous deck – no expansion joints over piers  Road profile – same as existing

New Superstructure  225 mm thick concrete slab  TL-5 walls  4 steel girders  11.55 m wide deck  Two 3.75 m traffic lanes  Two 1.5 m wide side clearances  90 mm asphalt and waterproofing  2% crossfall

Construction Overview  New superstructure with Superstructure Replacement Scheme 4 steel girders  5 segments, replace 1 segment per year  ‘Half-and-half’ staged construction with a single-lane of bi-directional traffic on the bridge controlled by temp. traffic signals for each Segment.  All lanes available during seasonal shutdown

Expansion Joint (EJ) Replacement  Full closure required for modular expansion joint installation . Legend: Eliminate existing EJ Replace EJ and ramp over Temporary EJ required

Construction Sequence Year Segment Major Work 1 - Advance work 2 C Replace segment 3 B Replace segment 4 D Replace segment 5 E Replace segment & Reconstruct abutment 6 A Replace segment & Reconstruct abutment 7 A Install EJ

Duration & Sequencing (1) 2018 (Year 1)  Prepare site; procure structural steel for Segment C  Structural steel repair (CIF) girders in west half of Segment C;  Rehabilitate pier caps at Piers 8 and 11  Part B (Highway 49 / Old Highway 2 / York Rd. intersection) 2019 (Year 2)  Replace Segment C superstructure  Rehabilitate pier caps at Piers 5,6 and 7 to accommodate 2020 construction;  Structural steel repair (CIF) girders in west half of Segment B  Install traffic signals to accommodate 2020 construction 2020 (Year 3)  Replace Segment B superstructure  Rehabilitate pier cap at Pier 14 to accommodate 2021 construction;  Structural steel repair (CIF) girders in west half of Segment D  Install traffic signals to accommodate 2021 construction

Duration & Sequencing (2) 2021 (Year 4)  Replace Segment D superstructure  Structural steel repair (CIF) girders in west half of Segment E  Install traffic signals to accommodate 2022 construction 2022 (Year 5)  Replace Segment E superstructure  Reconstruct south abutment and install modular type of expansion joint  Rehabilitate pier caps at Piers 3 and 4  Structural steel repair (CIF) girders in west half of Segment A  Install traffic signals for Segment A 2023 (Year 6)  Replace Segment A superstructure and Reconstruct north abutment  Install and maintain temporary ramp over expansion joint opening 2024 (Year 7)  Install Modular Expansion Joint in Segment A  Demolish Old Band Building

Seasonal Shutdown  Seasonal shutdown each year, all traffic lanes available  Work below the bridge deck is permitted; no traffic disruption  Work on Highway 49 affecting traffic or requiring lane closures not permitted

Traffic Management: Full Mainline Closures of Hwy 49 Type of Full Closure Description Short Duration Full Closures o 30 minutes during night hours (9 p.m. – 6 a.m.) o Unlimited number Extended Duration Full o ½ - 2 hours during night hours (9 p.m. – 6 a.m.) Closures o Maximum 52 occurrences Full Night Closures o 9 p.m. – 6 a.m. o Police required o Maximum of 45 occurrences  No full closures permitted in 2018  Advance notification required  Penalties for late opening

Traffic Management: Full Mainline Closures of County Rd 35 Type of Full Description Closure Extended Duration o ½ - 2 hours during night (9 p.m. – 6 a.m.) o Police required o 5 occurrences  Passage for emergency vehicles shall be readily available at all times

Restrictions on Crane Placement  No heavy equipment or cranes on any section of existing bridge in a 2 girder configuration

Snow Removal  Contractor responsible for snow and ice removal within work area  Remove within 3 hours of a snowfall event  Dispose at appropriate dump site  Snow removal plan each year  Snow removal against barrier by AMC, vacate work area

Utilities  Bell and Hydro plant traverse Hwy 49 north of CR 35  Union Gas plant crosses beneath BOQ on west side of bridge  Portions of abandoned Union Gas main may be present within the existing highway embankment near each end of BOQ Skyway Bridge

MBQ Fishing Rights  Area between piers 10 and 12 to remain accessible for MBQ to exercise fishing rights during July and August each year  Exception: only when construction work is performed between the piers  Advise intention to restrict access prior to May 15

Abutment Reconstruction  Reconstruction of abutments & wingwalls  Staged construction  Four - 1200 mm diameter caissons with steel liners at each abutment  South abutment and caissons – Year 5  North abutment and caissons – Year 6
