9. Stringer 5 5 2 (10) A-588 weathering steel beams, span 2s is suspended via hinges 4' north of pier 1s and
(SIA-59) 4' south of pier 2s. Deck is curved and beams are on chords. Severe corrosion with heavy
flaking of steel observed at all interior beam seat hinges. Minor to heavy section loss
observed in the webs, flanges, stiffeners and steel bearing seats of the beam seat hinges at
beams 2s through 9s at both pier 1w and pier 2w. Beam 2s pier 1w has the worst section loss
with multiple large holes in the web throughout the cantilever portion. Beam 2s pier 1w
bearing stiffeners at the beam seat hinge and the bearing stiffeners over the rocker bearing at
the pier are completely gone with 100% LOS for full width of both stiffeners. Beam 2s is in
critical condition with no load path back to the pier. Beams 3s & 8s at pier 1w and beams 2s,
3s, 4s, 8s & 9s at pier 2w are in serious condition. All cross frames under the EJD are in
serious condition with heavy section loss and steel flaking and corrosion at both pier1w and
pier 2w. A few cross frames have 100% section loss with holes in the webs. (07/22)
(10) A-588 weathering steel beams, span 2s is suspended via hinges 4' north of pier 1s and
4' south of pier 2s. Deck is curved and beams are on chords. Steel flaking and corrosion
observed under hinges (at EJD locations) at beams 2-3s; 7-9s and diaphragms. Beam 8s has
the worst deterioration. (07/20)
(10) A-588 weathering steel beams, span 2s is suspended via saddles 4' north of pier 1s and
4' south of pier 2s. Bridge is curved, beams are on chords. No deficiencies noted. (06/18)
10. Paint 8 6 N Steel patina is smooth with a solid encapsulation. Majority of damage to patina is observed
(SIA-59A) under EJD and also along bottom portion of web and bottom flange of beam 2s in span 1w.
(07/22)
Steel patina is smooth with a solid encapsulation. Majority of damage to patina is observed
under EJD. (07/20)
Steel patina is smooth with a solid encapsulation. (06/18)
11. Section 2 2 0 100% section loss observed in webs, flanges and stiffeners at beam 2s/Pier1w at the beam
Loss seat hinges. Other beam seat hinge locations have significant section loss as well. (07/22)
Section loss on and surrounding the beam hinges. Section loss not measured. Section loss
needs to be verified via a detailed inspection utilizing MDOT's reachall unit. Beams 2s-3s and
7s-9s are worst at both hinges. (07/20)
Section loss on and surrounding the saddles. Section loss not measured, approximated at
less than 10% +/-. Section loss needs to be verified via a detailed inspection utilizing MDOT's
reachall. Beams 2s and 3s are worst at both saddle joints. (06/18)
12. Bearings 7 7 4 Steel bearing plates at each abutment with moderate corrosion and elastomeric bearings at
each hinge location. One row of steel rocker bearings at each pier, pier 1w has approximately
10-15 degree tilt towards span 2. Most rocker bearings are in fair condition. Rockers 2s, 3s,
8s at pier 1w and rocker 2s-4s, 8s-9s at pier 2w are in poor condition with heavy corrosion
and steel flaking and pack rust observed. Most of the beam seats are in contact at the hinges
and packed with pack rust and debris. Elastomeric bearings are in fair condition with some
minor bulging and tearing. Some pads are only 90-95% full contact as the bearings have
slightly rotated. (07/22)
Steel bearing plates at each abutment and elastomeric bearings at each hinge location, no
deficiencies noted. One row of steel rocker bearings at each pier, rocker 1w has
approximately 10-15 degree tilt towards span 2, surface rust throughout. (07/20)
Elastomeric bearings at each abutment, no deficiencies noted.
One row of steel rocker bearings at each pier, no significant tilt noted, surface rust
throughout. (06/18)
