Murray Street Bridge Seismic Retrofit and Barrier Replacement

Description

This project will install new piles, extend the existing pile caps to incorporate the new piles, construct a new line of columns, place new bent caps, widen the bridge deck, and construct new see-through barrier rails. The resulting project, in addition to the structural upgrades, will result in a bridge deck with wide 6-foot bike lanes and a 7.5-foot sidewalk along the south (ocean) side to support a two-way pedestrian path of travel. The elevated curbs adjacent to the bike lanes will be replaced with standard 6-inch high curbs to improve the bicycle user experience. The solid concrete vehicular barrier will be replaced with rails, allowing for better harbor and ocean views. State and federal funding allows for improvements within 200 feet of the bridge abutments. Therefore, the project includes widening the bike lanes and sidewalks to improve the transitions and storm drain system on the west side of the bridge.
