GWMP Projects
George Washington Memorial Parkway Roadway Construction Project
- GWMP 4(1),5(1) - Spout Run
Description:
The project consists of stabilization of the scour and erosion damage at the arch bridge/culverts under eastbound (near the Washington Turn-Around) and westbound (near the GWMP) Spout Run Parkway over Spout Run. Repairs for both structures include repairing the undermining and scour of the abutments and footings, stabilizing the erosion along the abutments, wingwalls, and stream banks, replacing deteriorated and missing vertical expansion joint filler, and cleaning exposed rebar and coating with epoxy. Other miscellaneous work includes removing trees, boulders, and other debris from within the stream to help redirect the stream away from the structures, repair of the stone masonry joints, and removing vegetation as necessary to help prevent damage to the structures.
Traffic Control / Affects to Public:
The Spout Run Parkway will be open to traffic at all times. Lane closures may be necessary for equipment and material access to the work sites. No lane closures will occur during the standard GWMP Rush Hours of 5:30 am to 10:00 am and 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
Design/Construction Schedule:
Project was awarded March 31, 2009. Notice to Proceed was issued for June 1, 2009. Construction is expected to be complete August/September 2009.
