Schacht ( SCHACHT ) <br /> <br />Subject: Cleveland Avenue Bridge <br /> <br />I From Paul Kirkwold: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I Last night, a fire damaged the Timber bridge on Cleveland Avenue, <br />over the railroad tracks. This is the high structure you can see <br />I from the freeway (I-35W) looking east, just south of the County <br />Road E2 interchange. <br /> <br />Our initial thought was that the fire was set by vandels or a <br />I . I?arty under the bridge. We are followin'] though with an <br />1nvestigation by the Fire Chief and the New Br~ghton Police. <br /> <br />We are unsure of the structural damage at this time and have <br />I closed the bridge to traffic. A detour is provided using New <br />Brighton Road. Should the damage be severe enough to require <br />repair, we will weigh the repair cost with the life remaining on <br />the structure. The department has in it's plans to replace it <br />I next year. A contract for consulting services, to do the design <br />work, is scheduled for County Board consideration on August 22. <br /> <br />I I'll keep you posted on changes as they occur. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I cc: Brian Fitsinger, City of Arden Hills <br />Les Proper, City of New Brighton <br /> <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I- <br />I <br />
