The Wabasso Bridge consisting of three on grade structures and one high-level <br />structure has been deleted from the State's bridge system and now is the re- <br />sponsibility of Indian River County for maintenance and inspection. <br />2. The high-level structure has a deficiency in the design of some of the main <br />piers which has resulted in excessive joint openings. <br />y% 3. Although the County is now responsible for maintenance and inspection of the <br />high-level structure ,�iCh _ — a drMx:..,Allison, *rated is re �;y <br />�,`F <br />spans tale tg ;.the delficiency of the, design and any corrective action which <br />may .be.regiired`to-.return. the structure to proper conditions. <br />v' 4. fir. Chandler and Mr. Allison stated they,would.request;an in of the <br />high-level structure to. determine the status `of the problems 'related' to the__ <br />design deficiency. "It should be noted, the D.O.T. had taken some corrective <br />action in 1978 to the structure which included the use of steel wedges to <br />force tl`-- structure back into place. Mr. Chandler and Mr. Allison stated <br />they didn't know if any follow-up had been made on prior corrective actions, <br />but an inspection by the original inspection team would determine if the cor- <br />rective action was effective. A full report would be prepared after the <br />follow-up inspection and a copy would be submitted to the County. <br />RE P'_ TO: REPLY TO: <br />3885 ?0TH STREET ( ) 2002 N.W. 13TH STREET <br />POST OFFICE BOX 849 SUITE 201 <br />VERU BEACH, FLORIDA .32960 GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA 32601 <br />
