MEMORANDUM: 9
TO: JOHN PARKER
FROM: JAMES L. MERCER
SUBJECT: MODIFICATION REQUEST - PERMIT #39-88 - NC DOT -
RAILROAD BRIDGE, TRENT RIVER, CRAVEN COUNTY
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1992
DOT proposes to modify their permit to allow excavation from an
area 50' long x 100' wide from the old swing span pier. They
will remove approximately 2.5' of bottom material from the
alignment, generating about 300 cu. yds. of spoil. The material
will be removed by a bare mounted crane and ultimately be
deposited on a suitable upland site such as the one on Mr. Ray E.
McCotter's property at the Ramada Inn.
I have no objection with the proposed excavation which will
adjust the water depths within the channel to 45' NWL and I
recommend issuance ASAP. New permit conditions assigned to this
modification should be designated as Dredge Site #2/the swing
span channel. Excavation depths should be limited to -15' NWL.

MEMORANDUM•
TO: JOHN PARKER
FROM: JAMES L. MERCER
SUBJECT: COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS
N.C. DOT/McLEAN CONTRACTING
CRAVEN COUNTY
DATE: OCTOBER 9, 1990
MAJOR MODIFICATION -
COMPANY/ A & N.C. RAILROAD,
The scope of the proposed excavation is on the order of a general
permit, i.e. 500 cu. yds. However, the nature of the work cannot
be considered maintenance excavation. Processing McLean's
request as a major modification to Permit #39-88 seems to be
appropriate. However, I hope our collective turnaround time can
be shortened for the needs of the contractor.
I support issuance of the necessary permit modification and
suggest the additional conditions be assigned:
1. Excavation will occur only within the dimensions of the
prescribed area as shown on the permitted workplats.
2. All spoil material will be placed directly into the spoil
barge and contained and retained on the barge until
delivered to the Ramada Inn dock.
3. Excavation will take place below the NWL and will not exceed
-4' NWL.
4. Filter fabric will be used as a drop cloth between the spoil
barge and the unloading dockage to prevent accidental
spillage of spoil into the Trent River.
5. All spoil will be ultimately retained on the highground
property as shown on the workplat drawings.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - N.C. DOT/McLEAN CONTRACTING COMPANY/
A & N.C. RAILROAD, CRAVEN COUNTY
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: In February of 1988, DCM issued DOT
a permit (#39-88) authorizing the repair and replacement of
the A & NC Railroad swing span bridge over the Trent River,
between James City and New Bern, Craven County, NC.
Replacement of the entire trestle within the existing
alignment was judged to be exempt from further permit
requirements. Today, DOT's contractor, McLean Contracting
Company, is in the process of replacing the railroad
trestle. In order to gain access to the New Bern side of
the shoreline, McLean proposes to excavate a construction
channel measuring 120' long x 60' wide to an overall depth
of -4' NWL. Water depths within the project alignment range
from 1' to 3=' deep NWL The proposed excavation will allow
Water access by the construction barge,to the New Bern
shoreline next to the Sheraton Hotel property. The spoil
material generated by this excavation will be some 500 cu.
yds. of sandy material. The spoil will be loaded directly
into an attending spoil barge and delivered across the river
to the Ramada Inn property. There, the spoil will be
unloaded and stockpiled in an open field landward of the
hotel.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed excavation will be
accomplished by the clam shell bucket method. The
excavation should pose no obvious impacts to the 'SC' water
quality in this section of the Trent River. The proposed.
channel at an overall water depth of -4' will connect to the
natural 4' water contours of the Trent River. The spoil
disposal site measuring 100' x 100' appears to be adequate
to the task of containing and retaining the spoil. No marsh
grass or submerged aquatic vegetation will be involved with
the proposed project.

application must indicate the location at which the dredging material
will be deposited.
This letter constitutes an agreement for deposition of Trent River
dredge material on that parcel of land adjacent to the Ramada Inn as
shown on the attached sketch titled "Proposal Access Dredging - Spoil
Site and X-Section" dated September 8, 1990. Mr. McCotter, acting on
his own behalf, hereby states that he is the owner of the parcel
depicted on the attachment and hereby agrees to the placement.of up to
500 C.Y. of dredge spoil on the parcel by McLean, at no fee, under the
following terms and conditions:
1. After placement and drainage of the spoil, McLean will spread
the material in the area placed to achieve desired grade.
2. If any material is found to be contaminated, so as to be
considered toxic, McLean agrees to decontaminate the material
or remove it from the property:
Please indicate your acceptance of the agreement and terms by signing
and dating both copies in the space provided, retaining one copy for
your files.
Very truly yours,

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - NC DOT/RAILROAD BRIDGE - TRENT RIVER
PAGE *2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION= In Craven County, the section of
railroad crossing the Trent River, between James City and
New Bern, is known as the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad. The North Carolina Department of Transportation
(DOT) is in charge of railroad operations and maintenance.
A CAMA permit application has been submitted by Mr. William
G. Marley, Jr., P.E., on behalf of DOT to authorize the
replacement of the swing -span bridge portion of the railroad
trestle over the Trent River. This work will involve the
removal of the pivot pier upon which the swing -span rotates.
It has been estimated that 205 cubic yards of concrete brick
and other underwater material will be removed. Reviewers of
this application will gain greater appreciation for the
project's location and the proposed work activities by
referring to (the New Bern) Topographic Map, as well as the
1984 Corps/LAMA Aerial Photography listed on the front page
of this report.
The single -lane railroad trestle measures approximately 20'
wide and extends 1850' across the Trent River from its James
City location near the old iron works plant to a point near
Barbour's Boatworks in downtown New Bern. The swing -span
bridge and concrete pier, which is the focus of the proposed
project, is located about 450' from the James City
shoreline. As proposed, the new concrete pier supporting
the new bobtail swing -span will be constructed about 35'
closer to the James City shoreline. Approximately 196 cubic
yards of concrete will be placed on the Trent River bottom
to create an adequate support for the pivot pier.
Construction of the foundation and support pier will take
place with little to no loss of time to either boat or rail
traffic. The ,new bobtail design will actually increase the
horizonal clearance for waterway traffic from approximately
36' to 601. The new swing -span and mechanical workings of
the pivot pier will be fabricated off site and floated into
position on work barges. Large cranes will be used to
remove the old pivot pier and swing -span. The same
construction techniques will be used to lift the new
swing -span and pivot pier into position. Interuption to
public navigation should not exceed 1 to 2 days. The
vertical clearance of the new swing -span will be increased
to +6' above the normal water level. This will help prevent
premature detioration of the span by flood waters saturating
the structure. Another 7 to 10 days of work will be
required to hook up the electrical and hydraulic components
of the new structure at which time the span will be
completely operational to railroad traffic. The proposed
project will also involve construction of new timber pile
fenders protecting both the railroad piers and boats from
accidental impact. The configuration of these new wooden

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - NC DOT/RAILROAD BRIDGE - TRENT RIVER
structures will be the same as the existing fenders guarding
the bridge span.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: From a navigational standpoint, the
proposed project is a plus, because the project will
increase the waterway clearance from 36' to 601. This will
enhance boating safety by increasing visibility and reaction
time to oncoming traffic. No significant biological impacts
are expected from the construction of the concrete pivot
pier which will displace approximately 2500 sq. ft. of river
bottom land.
CANA REVIEW: The proposed project is consistent with the
goals and objectives of the Craven County Land Use Plan
which clearly supports the maintenance of the existing
railroad, as well as maintenance of navigational channels on
the Trent River.

JCrU
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace the
swing span of the A & NC Railroad bridge over the Trent River. The existing
pivot pier, which contains approximately 205 cubic yards of underwater material,
will be removed. The new pivot pier will require the placement of approximately
192 cubic yards of concrete under water.
Application is hereby made for the required permits issued by the Division
of Coastal Management. In addition, by copy of this letter, we are requesting a
Water Quality Certification from the Division of Environmental Management. The
Corps of Engineers has advised that an individual Department of the Army Permit
will not be required for this project; however, a Coast Guard permit will be
required.

The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges
receipt of your application for state approval for development of
your project located at the A & NC Railroad swing -span bridge
over the Trent River between James City and New Bern, in Craven
County. It was received on November 20, 1987, and appears to be
adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for
making a decision is February 3, 1988. An additional 75-day
review period may be necessary and if so you will be advised of
the extension and the new deadline.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be
posted at the location of the proposed development. Enclosed you
will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be
posted at the property of your proposed development. You should
post this notice at a conspicuous point along your property where
it can be observed from a public road. Some examples would be:
Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the
road right-of-way fronting your property; or at a point along the
road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your
property. Failure to post this notice could result in an
incomplete application.
An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional
information is required, you will be contacted by the appropriate

July 28, 1987
This is in response to your July 13, 1987 letter to me
concerning DOT's plans to replace the swing span in the railroad
bridge across the Trent River at New Bern. You have asked for a
determination as to whether your agency's proposal will require
permits pursuant to the Coastal Area Management Act and the
Dredge and Fill Law.
I have determined that permits will be required for your
proposed development. My determination is based on a review of
the information that you provided as an attachment to your letter
and on previous advice provided by the Attorney General's office
concerning exemptions under the Coastal Area Management Act for
bridge replacements by DOT. One key factor considered for this
project is the amount of concrete necessary to construct the
pivot pier for the new span. The 192 cubic yards of concrete
necessary to construct the new pier would be considered fill
material and, thereby, subject you to permit requirements under
the Dredge and Fill Law in which there are no exemptions provided
for any type of filling activity.
It would appear to me from review of your report on
alternatives for this project that an application would not raise
any serious environmental concerns and therefore could be
processed expeditiously. Jim Mercer, Field Representative with
the Division of Coastal Management, has been involved in previous
meetings about this subject and will be handling any applications
submitted for this work. Jim has indicated to me his feelings

that there is reason to consider relocating the span to better
facilitate navigation in that area of the Trent River.' This
Point has been discussed in a previous public meeting and appears
to be supported by key recreational and commercial interests of
that area. I offer this as advice because of the permits
recently issued for marina expansion in that area and contacts
which have been made with us about other proposed boating access
facilities. It is apparent that boating activity in the lower
Trent River will continue to increase in the future. Any
measures that can be taken by your agency to remove the
impediments to navigation as created by the existing railroad
bridge will certainly be in the overall public benefit.
We stand ready to work closely with you in getting your
project approved. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Mr.'
Mercer at any time if you wish to discuss this project further.

Following is some information we discussed regarding the
replacement swing span in the railroad bridge across the Trent
River in New Bern. We would appreciate your advising whether a
CAMA permit is necessary.
I am advised by our design engineers that no fill is involved
in the project.
You asked regarding the size of the pivot piers. The existing
pivot pier will be removed when the new one is built adjacent to
it. The existing pivot pier involves about 205 cubic yards of
underwater material (18' x 20.5' x 15' depth). The new pivot
pier should involve about 192 cubic yards (21' diameter x 15'
depth).
Enclosed is a copy of the engineering report that addressed
alternative design solutions. The recommended design which has
been approved by the United States Coast Guard and is now in final
design is the Bob -Tail Thru-Girder Swing Span, alternate 2. Page

SECTION I: INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF PROJECT
This report presents the findings of preliminary studies made for the
construction of a new movable bridge to replace the existing Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad Bridge across the Trent River. Since the bridge was built
before the advent of large waterway vessels, the present navigational opening
represents limitations to marine related economic development upstream of the
bridge. In the summer of 1984, the North Carolina State Legislature passed
House Bill 1376 appropriating monies for the design of a replacement bridge with
a navigational span of sufficient width to meet the needs of all upstream marine
development. On February 26, 1985, a contract was signed with the firm of
I' Modjeski and Masters Consulting Engineers authorizing studies for a replacement
structure.
The authorized work includes a location and control survey, soundings
at the bridge site, and alternate structure studies. The structure studies are
based on design criteria that have been presented to and approved by the State
Department of Transportation and the Southern Railway System which presently
leases the line from the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. The navigational
clear span criteria have been presented to and approved by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Primary consideration has been given to those construction methods which would
be least disruptive to navigational and rail traffic.
A total of seven bridge alternates were developed and evaluated in this
study. Of these, three emerged as warranting additional study. The alter-
natives studied in detail are:
I. Lengthen the Existing Deck -Girder Swing Span
II. A Thru-Girder Bob -tail Swing Bridge
III. A Rolling Lift Bascule Bridge
These bridge types were selected for the in-depth study based on their cost,
site suitability, public interest, and compliance with design criteria. (See
Section III.)

MODJESKI AND MASTERS
SECTION II: EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing Trent River Drawspan is a single track, steel deck girder,
symmetrical swing bridge of the pivot bearing type. The length of the bridge is
116'-0" and the clear span between end wedges and center wedges is 57'4" pro-
viding twin horizontal waterway clearances of about 40'-0'.
The bridge is part of a 1,850-foot long trestle crossing the Trent
River and is located approximately 0.6 miles west of the confluence of the Trent
River and the Neuse River (see General Plan - Drawing No. 1 in the appendix).
History
The Trent River Railroad Bridge was first constructed circa 1860. No
plans of the original bridge exist; however, some references to the bridge made
in historical memoirs indicate that the original bridge may have been a covered
timber bridge. If this is the case, this bridge would have been one of the
largest covered bridges of its day. Based on the existence of an old pivot pier
located some 1,160 feet south of the New Bern abutment, the original bridge had
a swing span providing two navigational channels approximately 45' to 50' clear.
In 1862, the original bridge was burned by retreating Confederate
soldiers at the Battle of New Bern. It was probably shortly after this that a
trestle -type replacement bridge was built. Coast Guard records indicate that
the bridge was rebuilt again in 1896. It was probably at that time that the
present swing span location was established. It is believed that the existing
swing span was built sometime in the early twentieth century, although no plans
exist to verify this belief. (See photo circa 1900, Page 3). In 1951, the
pivot pier at the bridge's present location was completely replaced and in 1981,
extensive corrosion repairs and strengthening of the swing bridge were performed,
as well as major rebuilding of the approach trestles. The only portions of the
original 1860 bridge that remain are 10 brick and granite piers and the original
pivot pier. None of these are removed in any of the bridge alternatives
studied.

Since very little of the original bridge remains and since those por-
tions that do remain will not be affected by this project, it is concluded that
no detrimental effect to historical properties will occur.
Substructure
As stated earlier, portions of the substructure, including the pivot
pier, of the Trent River Drawspan were completely rebuilt in 1951. The pivot
,.; pier is basically rectangular in shape with the channel sides being non-
! parallel. The dimensions are 19' in the track direction and 20' perpendicular
to the track. It is constructed of poured in place concrete, within a steel
sheet piling encasement and is supported by a combination of timber piles and
steel rail "pin" piles. It is not feasible to determine the condition or capa-
city of either of these existing pile types without extensive destructive
testing or expensive load testing. The rest piers consist of steel I -section
.'� caps supported on steel H-piles. Although these piles caps are in fair struc-
S F, tural condition, their capability of handling an increase in loading cannot be
'+ determined without a geotechnical investigation.,
Superstructure
S The superstructure is believed to have been constructed in the early
twentieth century. No plans for the original bridge exist. No design value of
Cooper's E Loading is known for the original bridge, but it is common for a
bridge of this vintage to have been designed for a Cooper E 45 (with steam
; V hammer blow impact) equivalent. .In 1981, major repairs and strengthening of the
bridge were performed. These repairs took the form of additional cover plates
,v- and repairs to areas of corrosion damage in the webs, stiffeners, bearings, and
laterals. It was also at this time that the bridge was modified from manual
operation to hydraulic operation.

The existing bridge is normally left in the open position. This allows
f., all marine traffic to pass through the bridge virtually unimpeded. By far, the

boats. The largest commercial user is Barbour Boat Works located just upstream
of the bridge on the north bank. The small existing navigational opening acts
as a limiting factor on the size of vessels that can be serviced at the boat
works.
Physical Condition of the Structure
A detailed inspection of the Trent River Bridge is not included in the
scope of this project. However, investigations into recent repairs and a cur-
sory site investigation indicate the existing bridge does have some problems.
While the trestle portions of the structure appear to be in satisfactory con-
dition, the swing span portion of the structure exhibits signs of its advanced
age.
i
First, the existing swing span is so low to the water that the lower
�. portions, as well as the machinery, are often inundated. This inundation has
led to extensive corrosion to the lower flanges, webs, stiffeners, and bearings,
resulting in the 1981 repairs. Although the repairs have apparently compensated
for past corrosion damage, the corrosion, and the need for regular repairs will
{ continue.
i Second, the center pivot is beginning to show signs of "play" deve-
loping in the center bearing. This has resulted in the bridge having to be
closed recently in order to repair damage to the rack caused by binding between
the rack and the pinion. As the center pivot wears further this type of main-
tenance problem can be expected to increase in frequency and severity.
Thus, while the trestle approaches probably have significant service
life remaining, it is believed the swing span portion of the bridge is nearing
the end of its service life. The repairs made to date to the swing span have
extended its service life, but we would anticipate a requirement for ever-
increasing maintenance and repair.

SECTION III: DESIGN CRITERIA
iThe preliminary design criteria listed below are for the purpose of
comparing alternate schemes for replacement or modification of the existing
I,
Trent River Drawspan.
Alignment
'r
The new structure will be built on existing alignment in order to uti-
lize the existing trestle on both the north and south ends of the existing swing
bridge and to avoid the introduction of curved track into the structure.
Profile Grade
1�The existing profile grade will be maintained.
Horizontal Navigation Clearance
The horizontal clearance between fenders provided for marine traffic
shall be a minimum of 60'.
Vertical Navigation Clearance
Since unlimited vertical clearance is provided by the existing struc-
ture, it is desirable that the replacement structure also provide unlimited ver-
tical clearance. All clearances will be based upon mean high water elevation.
Railroad Clearances
A minimum vertical clearance of 23' above top rail and a horizontal
clearance of 9' from centerline of track will be provided.

SECTION IV: STUDIES AND SURVEYS
Existing Studies
To develop an adequate data base for the project, a search and review
of any available existing studies regarding the project was made. There have
been two primary studies performed regarding the project; one was prepared by
the US Coast Guard and the other by the North Carolina Department of
Transportation.
The US Coast Guard, in a trip report dated September 15-16, 1977, exa-
mined the existing Trent River Railroad Bridge and concluded, "....the existing
41' horizontal clearance at the railroad bridge is insufficient for the passage
of a high percentage of barges and boats that are presently being built."
Regarding the commercial need for an enlarged navigational opening, the report
stated, "Action in this regard is urgently needed; regardless of whether the
action comes from the bridge owner, the bridge owner's leasee, or the State or
Federal Government." No design recommendations or conclusions were made in the
report.
In July, 1983, the Transportation Planning Division of the North
,j Carolina Department of Transportation published a report concluding that the
widening of the clear span of the railway bridge was an essential element in the
continued economic growth of New Bern and the surrounding area. The study
discussed several alternative solutions to the problem, as well as possible
funding sources for the construction. Reasons cited for increasing the naviga-
tion span were: a) The bridge is an obstruction to navigation; b) The bridge,
in its present condition and configuration, is a safety hazard to marine
traffic; and c) The narrow span is resulting in one of the largest local busi-
nesses, Barbour Boat Works, being disqualified from bidding on certain projects,
thereby reducing its employment and local revenue generating capacity.
Ii

MODJESKI AND MASTERS
Surveys
In early 1984, the Department of Transportation inspected the existing
pivot pier in an effort to determine its structural integrity. The findings of
that inspection were inconclusive. Based on the information gathered from that
field inspection, it was concluded that the load carrying capacity of the pivot
pier could not be quantified without extensive destructive testing.
In December of 1984, the Planning Division of the North Carolina
Department of Transportation conducted a survey of all known commercial users of
the channel regarding the adequacy of a 60' navigational opening at the bridge.
Of 15 firms contacted, 14 stated that a 60' opening would be adequate for their
needs and the 15th had no opinion.
In April, 1985, the firm of Diaz, Seckinger & Associates of Raleigh,
North Carolina was engaged by Modjeski and Masters to perform location and
control surveys of the existing bridge for a distance of 300' on each side of
the pivot pier. A'profile line of existing base of rail was run from the south
shore_to a point 300' north of the existing bridge. Also, size, shape, and ele-
vation of two rest piers, pivot pier and pile bents were determined. The
location of all abandoned piles in or near the navigational channels was
established.
A special sounding survey was made in the vicinity of the proposed new
bridge. Depth of the water was found to vary from 13 to 17 feet.
Plan Search
An in-depth plan search for all existing plans for the bridge was made.
A scarcity of plans soon became evident due primarily to the age of the struc-
ture. The plans that were discovered include undated plans that appear to be
from the 1896 rebuilding of the trestle, plans showing mechanical modifications
dated 1952, plans for the rebuilding of the pivot pier -dated 1952, and plans
showing structural repairs and strengthening made in 1981. The plans from 1981
delineate major repairs due to extensive metal deterioration caused by the fre-
quent inundation of the bridge.

SECTION V: ALTERNATE REPLACEMENT SCHEMES
A Description of Alternates Considered
For this project, seven bridge alternatives were developed, (see
Drawing No. 2). These are:
Alternate 1 - Lengthen the Existing Deck Girder Swing Span
Alternate 2 - A Thru-Girder Bob -tailed Swing Span
Alternate 3 - A Rolling Lift Bridge
Alternate 4 - A Vertical Lift Bridge
Alternate 5 - A new Deck Girder Swing Span
Alternate 6 - A Cable Stayed Swing Span
Alternate 7 - Purchase an Existing Bridge and Move It To the Site.
Initial evaluations of these alternatives showed Alternatives 1, 2, and
3 to warrant further detailed study, engineering, and cost evaluations.
Alternatives 4 thru 7 were shown not to warrant further study. Alternatives 1,
i
2 and 3 are addressed later in this report. The following is a cursory
discussion of each of the rejected alternatives:
Alternate 4 - Vertical Lift Bridge
This alternative consists of an 84' girder span supported by two towers
approximately 70' high. The travel of the bridge would be 41' providing a ver-
tical clearance of 45' above normal high water which is the same as that pro-
vided by the US Highway 17 Bridge. The estimated cost would be about $3
million. Though it is entirely feasible to construct this alternate, it was not
studied in detail because of the visual impact of the high towers at each end
and its greater construction cost.

Alternate 5 New Deck Girder Swing Span
With an estimated cost of $1.8 million this alternative is the
least However, it does present some severe

design and maintenance problems. In order to have an efficiently designed
girder, the new bridge will have to be approximately 14" deeper than the
Si existing bridge's girder. This means the new flange would only be 2' out of the
water. At this elevation, the steel, as well as the machinery, would be inun-
dated repeatedly even under normal weather conditions. This would precipitate
rapid structural deterioration and mechanical failures. Therefore, the lower
initial cost is overshadowed by substantially higher maintenance costs, a higher
likelihood of the bridge being stuck in either the open or closed position, and
a shorter expected structure life. For these reasons, this alternate is not
considered an acceptable solution of design problem.
Alternative 6 Cable Stayed Swing Span
In.1977, the California Department of Transportation designed and 'built
a Cable Stayed Swing Span across the Sacramento River near Meridian, California.
Because the Sacramento River Bridge replaced an existing railroad bridge and made
use of an existing pivot pier, it was recommended that an evaluation be made of
the feasibility of using such a bridge type at the Trent River Railroad Bridge.
Upon close examination, it has been determined that it is not feasible
to use this type bridge as a replacement for the Trent River Bridge. First, in
order to provide a proper pivot floorbeam and tower base, the pivot girder must
be deepened. In the case of the Sacramento River Bridge, the profile of the
bridge had to be raised 5' to accommodate this deepening. In the case of'the
Trent River Bridge, such a change in the profile would mean trestle and embank-
ment modifications for a distance of at least 500' either side of the swing
span. Second, the Sacramento River replacement bridge was of the same span con-
figuration as the bridge it replaced. This made maintaining the same load at

MODJESKI AND MASTERS
I
the pivot pier simpler. In the case of the Trent River Bridge, an increase in
span length is required, which makes maintaining the same pier load impossible,
since the live load reaction increases substantially. Third, the bridge would
require towers approximately 70' in height, making them the dominant element of
the southerly view from New Bern.
I
Alternate 7 - Use of an Existing Bridge
The major disadvantage of this alternative is that an existing bridge
must be found that solves the replacement problem instead of designing a bridge
to solve a given problem. Because of the uniqueness of the design criteria for
any given bridge project, this proves to be extremely difficult. A search of
technical publications where used bridges are often advertized and a search of
abandoned or soon to be abandoned rail lines uncovered no bridges in acceptable
structural condition meeting the design criteria. Therefore, this alternate is
not considered a viable alternative.

ALTERNATE 1 - LENGTHEN THE EXISTING BRIDGE
It became evident very early in the study that this alternate was not a
�- reasonable solution to the design problem, however, cue to the large amount of
= local interest that has-been expressed in this alternate it was studied in
detail and is discussed below.
A Plan and Profile of this Alternate is presented in Drawing No. 3.
' Sections showing required structural modifications to the main girders are shown
in Drawing No. 4.
i
Substructure
This alternative envisions construction of a new pile supported rest\
pier on the north side of the existing fendered opening, maintaining use of the
existing pivot pier and the existing south rest pier. This will provide a 60'
-horizontal clearance for the north opening and about a 41' clearance at the
south opening..
l=
A major problem in the analysis of the substructure for this alter-
; [,
native is determining the capacity of the existing pivot pier. A detailed plan
search reveals that the existing pivot pier was rebuilt in 1951. At that time,
the old pier was removed with the intention to replace it with a timber pile
supported pier. Apparently, construction conditions were such that timber piles
%_. could not be driven as originally planned: To compensate for this, timber piles
were driven on the north and south side of the existing pier and steel rail
"pin" piles were driven in the center of the pier. The timber piles that were
driven are of unknown length and capacity. In the case of the pin piles a blow
+-' count and hammer description is given, however their present structural
,+
condition is unknown. There is also very little information in the literature
i7 to validate the effectiveness of pin piles.
By lengthening the span as shown on Drawing No. 3, the total reaction
L: at the existing pivot pier would be increased by approximately 355,000 pounds.
Based on the uncertainties stated above, it would not be in the best interest
13

MODJESKI AND MASTERS
of the owner or the user to sanction the use of the existing pivot pier.
Numerous methods of strengthening the existing pivot pier were investigated, but
all were tantamount to replacing the existing pier.
Superstructure
As shown in Drawing No. 3, this alternative envisions lengthening the
existing superstructure some 24'. The superstructure was analyzed for this
additional length and the required strengthening determined.
Drawing No. 4 shows the required cover plates for the strengthening of
the existing bridge. As can be seen in this drawing, the cover plates are of
substantial thickness. From a design and construction standpoint, the addition
of the cover plates present what appear to be some insurmountable problem.
First, the addition of the cover plates violates the stipulation of the AREA
code limiting the total depth of cover plates. Second with the addition of
cover plates, the existing web to flange rivets are no longer adequate to
transmit the horizontal shear. Third, cover plates of this depth would require
major adjustments in the track profile since the ties sit on top of the girder
flange. It would be difficult to make this vertical adjustment under traffic.
Fourth, due to the manner of attachment of the 1981 cover plate in the center of
the existing span, attachment of another cover plate would be difficult and
costly. Fifth, it is apparent that the 1981 repairs were due to excessive
corrosion. This would tend to cast doubt on the overall structural integrity of
a strengthened bridge using the existing components.
Conclusions
Based on the design and construction problems associated with the
superstructure and the uncertainties associated with the existing pivot pier, it
is our opinion that this is not a viable alternative for improving the naviga-
tional clearance for the Trent River Bridge. Therefore, we have concluded that
pursuing the study of this alternate beyond the structural evaluation stage
would not be useful.

ALTERNATE 2: BOB -TAIL THRU-GIRDER SWING SPAN
A Plan and Profile of the Bob -tail Thru-Girder Swing Span is presented
in Drawing No. 5 of the Appendix. A layout of the mechanical components is
shown in Drawing No. 6. The estimated cost of is this alternate is
$1,995,000.00. For a breakdown of the cost estimate see page 20.
Substructure
This bridge alternate will require the construction of two new rest
piers and a new pivot pier. The resulting navigational channels will remain
virtually in the same location as the existing, with the larger opening located
to the north of the pivot pier.
The proposed scheme envisions constructing the south rest pier on the
south side of the existing rest pier. To construct the new rest pier, temporary
removable timber deck panels will be installed to replace the existing timber
deck above the location of the new rest pier. Between passages of trains, the
'I
panels will be removed, allowing work beneath the bridge.
The new pivot pier will be constructed south of the existing pivot pier
during periods when the span is in the open position. This will require all
navigational traffic to use the north navigational span while the pier is being
built. The pivot pier will be constructed of poured -in -place concrete on a
pile supported concrete footing. Since the pier will have to be built "low" to
allow the existing bridge to close during construction, it will be necessary to
place all machinery and wedges on bolsters to get them above river water surge
elevations. These bolsters will be placed during the period that the old bridge
is floated out and the new floated in. Following float -in the bolsters will be
encased in concrete to prevent deterioration.
The last step in the construction of the substructure will be the new
north rest pier. The north rest pier will be constructed in the north naviga-
tional opening as close to the existing north rest pier as practical. During
15

;f#
MODJESKI AND MASTERS
this phase of the project (30-45 days), it will be necessary to limit the north
;= navigational opening to approximately 30 feet clear. This would provide for the
passage of recreational craft, but not large commercial vessels.
Continuous rail traffic will be maintained during construction except
for a period of 48 hours to allow for floating out the old superstructure,
removing the existing pivot pier and floating in the new span. As stated
earlier, all of the existing north navigational channel will be available until
about six weeks prior to float -in. Then, for approximately 4-6 weeks, the
width of the channel will be reduced to facilitate the construction of the
north rest pier. Following float -in, the bridge will be completely closed to
marine traffic for a period of seven days to allow for all mechanical and
electrical connections to be completed and the bridge to be made operational. -
When completed, two navigational channels will be provided; the north
opening will provide 60' clear and the south opening will provide a minimum of
30' clear. '
Fenders
The new pivot pier will be protected by a group of timber piles on the
east and west side connected by -a timber fender on the north side of the pivot
pier. The north rest pier will also be protected by a timber fender. Because
the south channel will be used only by small pleasure craft, no fender system is
proposed. However, a final decision on whether or not to provide fenders. for
the south channel will be/deferred until further discussions with the US Coast
Guard during the design phase.
All of the existing fender system will be demolished. The new fender
system will maintain the existing skew of 120 to facilitate ease of navigation
from the railroad bridge to the swing span highway bridge located to the east of
the railroad bridge. A 60' horizontal clearance will be provided between the
fenders of the north navigational opening.

MODJESKI AND MASTERS
(°' Superstructure
The new swing span superstructure will consist of a bob -tailed span
arrangement of 84' and 52'. The superstructure will be composed of 2 thru-
girders supporting an open deck„ stringer-floorbeam floor system. All primary
members will be rolled sections with the exception of the girders and pivot
floorbeam whi,ch will be built up sections. All members will be A-36 steel
except for the pivot floorbeam, which will be A-588 steel. All steel will be
painted with a• high quality, state-of-the-art protective coating. At present, a
system of polymide epoxy with a top coat of polyester/aliphatic urethane is con-
templated, but further study during final design may result in a different
recommendation. Further, it is intended to install splash guards on the faces
of the new main pier and rest piers to inhibit wave splash on the new steel.
The drive machinery for the bob -tail swing span will be a hydraulic
system powered by electrically driven pumps. Two hydraulic cylinders will be used
to operate the.bridge, one for opening and the second for closing. (See Drawing
No. 6.) Four end wedges, two at each rest pier, and two live load shoes at the .
pivot pier, will also be driven hydraulically. At present, a tie down hook is
provided at the south rest pier to compensate for the negative live load reac-
tion that develops at the end of the short span. This, too, will be operated
hydraulically. It may be found more cost effective in the final design to
lengthen the short arm of the bridge thereby reducing the need for this tie down
hook.
The back-up operating system for the bridge will consist of a portable
hydraulic pump capable of interfacing with the hydraulic system. In addition,
provisions will be made to manually pump the bridge into the open or closed posi-
tion.
It is anticipated that the movable span will normally be kept in the
open position. Pile bents will be provided upon which the ends of the swing
span span will rest while in the open position.

Suggested Construction Sequence (See Drawing No. 7)
1. Construct new lift out panels for the trestle at the location of the new
south rest pier. Begin construction of the new rest pier.
2. Concurrent with Item 1, begin construction of the new pivot pier. Rail and
marine traffic will be maintained during this phase of construction.
However, all marine traffic will be shifted to the north navigational chan-
nel. New construction will not interfere with swing span operation.
3. Begin fabrication of the swing span superstructure.
4. Begin construction of the north rest pier as close as practical to the
existing north rest pier. This activity will require limiting the naviga-
tional opening of the north span to approximately 30 feet for a period
of 30-45 days.
5. Assemble the new swing span on barges.
6. Float out the existing swing span and remove the existing pivot pier, south
rest pier, and the south trestle spans.
7. Concurrent with Item 6, construct the equipment and bearing bolsters at the
north rest pier and the pivot pier.
8. Float in the new swing span and place the 2 new I -girder spans at the north
and south end of the bridge. A 48 hour period will be required for the
contractor to remove the existing swing span, remove the existing pivot
pier, construct the bolsters at the north rest pier and pivot pier, float in
the new span, and make both stringer spans and swing span operational for
rail traffic.
9. Dredge the channel and complete all other work to make the new span fully
operational. Estimated time to make the bridge fully operational is 7 days
after float -in. The fender construction will continue beyond 7 days but
will not hinder Marine or rail traffic.

Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
1. .The least expensive of the feasible alternates.
2. The machinery and low steel is approximately three feet.higher than that
of the existing bridge, thereby reducing wave splash with its resulting
corrosion. Lower maintenance costs can be anticipated.
3. The least visually obtrusive bridge alternate studied. The visual pro-
file of the new bridge is raised only three feet higher than the
existing bridge.
4. Provides for the channel to be in the same approximate position as the
existing channel:
5. Provides two navigational openings, thereby reducing the likelihood of
pleasure craft collisions during the busy summer months.
6. Provides unlimited vertical clearance.
7. Machinery is relatively simple and easy to maintain.
Disadvantages
1. The bridge requires an extensive fender system, thereby requiring a higher
initial fender cost and higher annual maintenance cost than some of the
other alternates.
2. The bridge, though protected by a fender system, is still theoretically
susceptable to a marine collision when the span is in the open position.
3. Machinery would be susceptable to inundation under worst storm situations.
(Storm surges in excess of 5 feet.)

ALTERNATE 3 - NEW ROLLING LIFT SPAN
A Plan and Profile of the Rollin Lift Bridge is
9 g presented in Drawing
No.B and layout of the mechanical components is shown in Drawing No. 9. The
_ estimated cost of this alternate is $2,583,000. For a breakdown of the cost
estimate, see page 25.
f_
Substructure
The proposed scheme for a Rolling Lift Bridge envisions construction of
'�- a new pile -supported main pier partially in the north side of the existing fen-
1 dered opening and partially in the existing north navigational channel. It will
be necessary to move all marine traffic to the south navigational span during
this phase of the construction. The rest pier of the span will be constructed
in the south navigational channel as close to the existing rest pier as.prac-
tical. During this phase of construction (30-45 days), it will be necessary to
limit the south navigational opening of the existing span to approximately 30
feet clear. This will allow the passage of recreational craft, but not large
1_
commercial vessels. When completed, one navigational channel of 60' clear will
ll: be provided.
-: To construct the new main pier, temporary steel H-pile bents and remo-
vable temporary timber deck will be installed to replace the existing steel I-
beam deck in the area of pier construction. After the temporary deck and track
are made operational for continued railroad use, a cofferdam will be constructed
and piling driven.
Pile driving for the new track girder pier will be done between passage
y_ of trains by utilizing the removable timber deck panels. The concrete pile cap
would be constructed under the timber deck and adjacent to the existing pile
- bents.
Due to the location of the new bridge, no new permanent pile bents will
be required, however two new steel I-beam spans will be required to span between
the new rest piers and the existing trestle bents.
21

MODJESKI AND MASTERS
Fenders
The new bridge will be well protected from vessel impact by a timber
fender system on the north and south side of the navigational channel. For a
plan of the proposed fender system, see Drawing No. 8.
Superstructure
The new span consists of one 80' span, open deck, steel thru grider
over a 60' horizontal channel opening. The main girders will be welded I -
sections of A-36 steel. The floor system and bracing system will be comprised
of rolled sections of A-36 steel. All member connections will be made with high
strength bolts. Tread plates on the horizontal track girder and on the rolling
segmental girder will be of rolled high strength steel conforming to ASTM A588.
Cast steel conforming to ASTM A27 will also be considered.
All steel will be painted with a high quality, state-of-the-art; pro-
tective coating. At present, a system of polymide epoxy with a top coat of
polyester/aliphatic urethane is contemplated, but further study during final
design may result in a different recommendation. Further, it is intended to
install splash guards on the faces of the new main pier and rest pier to inhibit
wave splash on the new steel.
The drive machinery required for the rolling lift span is relatively
simple. The rolling friction is small; therefore, the machinery is correspon-
dingly lighter and requires less power than most other types of movable bridges.
The rolling element over the supporting north pier is in the form of
a circular quadrant attached to the counterweight. In operation, the entire
Superstructure moves away from the channel opening. The main drive pinions are
at the center of the quadrant and roll on a straight horizontal rack which is
attached to the top of a rigid frame located on each side of the bridge. For
layout of the operating machinery, see Drawing No. 9. It should be noted that
all machinery is mounted at the rack level, some 41' above the water, and is thus
less susceptible to corrosion damage from spray.
22

MODJESKI AND MASTERS
Suggested Construction Sequence
I. Construct the north pier. Rail and marine traffic will be maintained during
construction, however all marine traffic will be shifted to the south navi-
gational channel. New construction will not interfere with swing span
operation.
2. Fabricate the rolling lift superstructure.
3. Begin erection of the track girders, rack frame, the segment girders and
machinery floor on the new pier. Concurrent with this activity, begin
construction of the new rest pier. This activity will require limiting the
navigational opening of the south span to approximately 30 to 35 feet.
4. Erect the girder portion of the superstructure on barges. Concurrent with
i
this activity, install all machinery, electrical equipment and pour the
counter -weight on the now erected rear half of the bridge.
5. Close the bridge to navigational and rail traffic.
6. Float out the existing Swing Span.
7. Remove the existing Pivot Pier.
8. Float in the girder portion of the new draw span.
9. Install the new I -girder approach spans on the north and south end of the
bridge. Allow a 48-hour period for the contractor to remove the existing
swing span, remove the existing pivot pier, float the new span in position
and make both the stringer spans and rolling lift span operational for rail
traffic.
10. Complete electrical and machinery installation.
11. Install the new fenders and complete all other work to make the new span
fully operational.
23

MODJESKI AND MASTERS
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
1. The machinery is well above even the highest river elevation
surges, thereby reducing maintenance cost.
2. When in the open position, the bridge is clear of the channel,
thereby reducing the likelihood the superstructure will be hit by a
marine vessel.
3. Requires the least amount of fender system.
4. Provides for the channel to be in the same position as existing.
5. Allows the superstructure to be well clear of the water surface
during most of its lifetime, thereby reducing water induced
corrosion.
Disadvantages
R
1. One of the more costly of the alternatives.
2. When in the closed position, the counterweight will be approxima-
tely 50' above the water. When in the open position, the end of
the bridge will be approximately 111' above the water. This will
make the bridge the dominant feature of the southerly view from the
City of New Bern.
3. Due to the relatively short design span, a single track bridge such
as this one is not "structurally efficient", requiring excessive
steel to facilitate connections at the segment girder.
24

MODJESKI AND MASTERS
SECTION VI: CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Conclusions
It is concluded, as a result of the studies, that:
1. No load carrying capacity can be determined for the existing pivot pier
without extensive destructive testing. Therefore, no alternative applying
more load than that presently existing on the pier should be used.
2. Either a Rolling Lift Span, Vertical Lift Span or Bob -tailed Swing Span is
entirely feasible to be constructed on existing alignment and grade as a
replacement structure for the existing Trent River Drawspan.
3. Each structure can be built without significant interruption to rail traf-
fic by use of a float -in erection method. Maximum interruption to rail
traffic is estimated at 48 hours.
4. Each structure can be built with minimal interruption to marine traffic.
All alternatives will require a period of 30-45 days where the navigational
span will be restricted to a width of 30-35 feet and period of 7 days when
the bridge will be entirely closed to marine traffic.
5. The Thru-Girder Bob -tail Swing Span, Alternate 2, is the more economical of
the feasible structures for replacement of the existing Trent River
Drawspan. While the cost estimates are preliminary in nature, it is evident
that the Thru-Girder Swing Span will cost some 25% less than the Rolling
Lift Span.
6. The Thru-Girder offers one other advantage in addition to its cost advan-
tage, that advantage being its low profile. There will be almost no percep-
table visual change between this bridge and the existing Trent River
Bridge; therefore the view from New Bern looking south will remain vir-
tually unchanged.

ATTENTION: Mr. John Parker
SUBJECT: Craven County, Permit Modification Request for
Replacement of Railroad Bridge over Trent River,
New Bern, State TIP No. M-103.
The subject permit (number 39-88) was issued the North
Carolina Department of Transportation on February 15, 1988,
and renewed on April 19, 1991. During the initial design
phase of this project, it was not anticipated that any
excavation or fill would be required. During the final
design stage, however, it was decided that limited excavation
and fill activities would be required. specifically, NCDOT
proposes to dredge to elevation -15' for a distance of 50'
east and west of the centerline of the track in the area of
the old pivot pier, resulting in approximately 300 cubic
yards of dredged material. Hydraulic dredging will not be
utilized. NCDOT also proposes to fill to elevation -15' for
a distance 50, east and west of the centerline of the track
in the area of the new pivot pier. The design plans states
that the contractor may use the adjacent dredged material as
a fill material source.
North Carolina Department of Transportation would like
to request a minor permit modification based on the
information provided above. Also included for your
information is a plan sheet indicating the locations of the
proposed dredge and fill sites. Work on this bridge is
presently underway, but the contractors have been informed
that no dredge or fill activities may proceed until NCDOT
receives the appropriate authorization form the Division of
An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer

Coastal Management. A check for $50 to cover processing of
this request was sent to your office on November 26, 1991.
If you require any additional information, please contact Mr.
Doug Huggett of NCDOT's Environmental Unit at [phone].
