BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The City-Wide Bridge Replacement Project is a $23.4 million 2012 - 2017 Bond program funded Project intended to replace City owned bridge structures rated as deficient, either due to compromised structural integrity, insufficient drainage capacity, or inadequate traffic provisions, or a combination.

TCI initiated a bridge selection process to create a short-list of recommended bridges. This selection process entailed an evaluation of the 2011 Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) San Antonio District Off-System Bridge list and TxDOT's National Bridge Inventory to help identify bridges with the greatest potential for improvement. Based on the evaluation of these lists, seven bridges were selected for the 2012 City-Wide Bridge Replacement Project. The seven structures include: Shaenfield Road Bridge, Crockett Street Bridge, Ashley Road Bridge, Commerce Street Bridge, South Laredo Street Bridge, Bronco Drive Bridge, and Dreamwood Drive Bridge.

The South Laredo Bridge was selected due to deterioration and large cracks in critical support beams within the bridge. Currently, traffic is being detoured due to the bridge conditions and the posted weight load limit signs. The weight load limit signs will be removed, once project construction is complete.
