SANDY DIKE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT :
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Sandy Dike Bridge Replacement Project is needed to provide safe access to a portion of the
refuge for management activities and for potential public use in the future (see map). The existing
wooden bridge faits to meet federal safety standards, the new structure will remedy this situation.
Project work will be conducted by a contractor. First, the existing wooden bridge, pilings, and
bulkheads will be removed (see sike`plans). The area behind the bulkheads will be excavated to a
slope of not more than 2H: IV. The new bridge will be constructed in the same location as the
existing bridge using precast concrete piles and steel deck construction (see site plans). An 18"
thick layer of riprap will be placed along the excavated sections of both banks.
