PURPOSE AND NEED
The primary purpose of this bridge replacement project is to replace the bridge and approaches on KY 7 over Plum Creek approximately 4.4 miles North of the junction with KY 827 in order to improve the safety of the traveling public. KY 7 is an important route for those wanting to access US 23 to the North, KY 10 to the East or West, and Interstate 64 in Olive Hill, KY. This project is needed because the existing structure has a sufficiency rating of 41.4/100.0, which indicates that it is deficient. KYTC’s policy is to consider replacement of structures when their sufficiency rating falls below 50.0/100.0. The existing double barrel 10x10x54 feet reinforced concrete culvert is structurally deficient as evidenced by heavy erosion at the north upstream embankment. Poor channel alignment is forcing flow into the embankment and is encroaching upon the roadway. All normal flow is through the south barrel due to the silt/debris in the north barrel. Additionally, the south upstream and the north downstream wingwall is completely gone. A small scour hole (approximately 20 inches deep) is present at the outlet end of the south barrel. Barrels have moderately sized cracks in walls and ceilings, with some spalling and exposed steel. The south barrel walls have some areas of honeycombing. The inverts have areas of concrete erosion and the headwalls have areas of honeycombing and spalling with exposed steel.
