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

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

Superstructure Replacement Scheme

Expansion Joint (EJ) Replacement

Eliminate existing EJ Replace EJ and ramp over Legend: Temporary EJ required

• Full closure required for modular expansion joint installation.
