The <br />segment is approximately 4,300 feet long and lies within a 204-foot right-of-way. <br />Bridge 4627 is located at the south end of the project near TH 51. The City is hiring a <br />consultant to assist with topographic survey and mapping for the future roadway <br />improvements and with assessment of potential bridge construction costs. <br />Bridge 4627 is a concrete slab bridge spanning 20-feet over a drainage ditch and was <br />constructed in 1926. The structure crosses the Lake Josephine discharge channel that <br />flows to Lake Johanna. Annual safety inspections of the structure have been provided <br />by Ramsey County; the last inspection occurred in June 2009. We understand that <br />improvements may include removal of the structure and reconstruction of a new <br />structure that meets State Aid design requirements for the roadway and structure. We <br />understand the new structure must have sufficient width to accommodate a State Aid <br />roadway section as well as a shared-use path adj acent to the roadway. <br />We understand the City will provide a geotechnical investigation of the subsurface soils <br />within the project under a separate contract. <br />Project Scope <br />Kimley-Horn will provide the services specifically set forth below based on our <br />understanding of the proj ect. <br />TEL 651 645 4197 <br />FAX 651 645 5116 <br />
