This document is a Road Bridge Inspection Report for the Francis Mill Creek Bridge, conducted by the USDA Forest Service, Region 8, on September 17, 2024. It details the bridge's identification, location, description, measurements, condition, and load rating data. The report includes an overview of the bridge's structure, materials, and dimensions, as well as a summary of its condition ratings for various components such as the deck, superstructure, and substructure. It also provides load rating data for different vehicle types and lists recommended work items for maintenance and repair.

While this document is an inspection report and not a solicitation, it provides critical information about the current state of a bridge infrastructure. For potential bidders involved in bridge maintenance, repair, or construction, this report highlights specific areas of concern and recommended actions. Key findings include:

• Approach Condition: Potholing on approaches and minor settlement at both approaches.
• Deck Condition: Abrasion on the deck surface and observed standing water.
• Substructure Condition: Fair condition for abutment alignments and weep holes, but poor quality concrete noted at both abutments. A scour hole with approximately 1ft undermining of the far abutment was identified.
• Recommended Work Items: Includes routine bridge inspection, repair of concrete abutments/piers for footing undermining, deck cleaning, surfacing/aggregate repair for potholes, general approach maintenance, and bridge railing/upgrade railing.

This information is crucial for understanding the scope of potential future work, the specific issues that need addressing, and the overall condition of the asset.
