| Details | TOPIC - Park Avenue Bridge Replacement The ASCE Orange County Branch invites you to attend the October Luncheon featuring Bo Burick, PE, Vice President at Michael Baker International.The Park Avenue Bridge Replacement project was initiated by the City of Newport Beach in 2009 to replace the existing bridge that connects Big Balboa Island and Little Balboa Island over the Grand Canal. The existing bridge was constructed in 1928. It was rehabilitated in 1984 which included adding ADA access ramps. As part of its bi-annual bridge inspection program, the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) classified this bridge as functionally obsolete and therefore included it in the Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) for rehabilitation or replacement. Upon the HBP listing, Caltrans and City staff engineers reviewed the available work options and ultimately determined that it will be more cost effective and functional to replace the Bridge. The City Council, at its February 23, 2016 regular meeting, awarded a construction contract to John S. Meek Company to construct a temporary bridge across the Grand Canal at Balboa Avenue. The temporary bridge will serve as the main ingress/egress for the Little Island, while Meek's crews reconstruct the Park Avenue Bridge. The City Council also awarded a contract to FountainHead Corporation to assist staff in administering and managing this complex project.
