Body
Summary and Background Information:
The 112th Avenue Bridge over the Fulton Ditch is located approximately 2,800 feet east of US85 on 112th Avenue. An inspection by COOT in the spring of 2020, found the bridge unsafe. The columns supporting the bridge in the eastbound direction have significant section loss. As a result, the eastbound lanes for the bridge are closed. The City hired Benesch Inc. to complete the design of the new Fulton Bridge. COOT and the Federal Highway Administration has approved the design. These approvals were necessary to receive a $500,000 grant towards construction of the bridge.
This ordinance recognizes the $500,000 grant from CDOT.
