All bridges are in fair or poor condition, have deficient horizontal clearances, and are load posted (see representative photos in Figures 2-5). The purpose of the Improving Rural Bridges in Northwest Oklahoma Project (the Project) is to eliminate these deficient bridges and restore safe crossings that are up to today's design standards and meet regional traffic requirements for safety and weight. CED #8 intends to construct this Project as a bundle, letting all seven bridges as a single project to a single contractor. Six of the seven bridges will be replaced with pre-stressed concrete beam bridges of similar design. The seventh bridge (Noble County NBI 09614) will be replaced with recycled steel beams from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation's (ODOT's) removal of the 1-40 Crosstown Expressway in Oklahoma City in 2012. Six of the bridges will provide a 26-foot clear roadway Improving Rural Bridges in Northwestern Oklahoma FY 2022 Bridge Investment Program Grant Application CECCOD ..tUl ...._:!T;_ery ), Jrn_r."7.1-- i r-, - Old 0 20 40 80 120 160 200 Miles Figure 1: Location ofBridges within Circuit Engineering District #8, Oklahoma CEDE' WINN.'

New crash-tested guardrail will be installed on all bridges and approaches to safely accommodate two lanes of traffic.

This region has some of the lowest population densities of the state, with over half of the counties in the District having fewer than 10 people per square mile. The counties in this District maintain 21,473 road miles and 2,883 bridges. Of the 2,883 bridges in the District, 432, or 15%, are in poor condition. Programming funding for bridge replacement projects would not be possible without outside support, which is provided in large part by ODOT's County Improvements for Roads and Bridges (CIRB) revolving fund. The CIRB fund was established by the Oklahoma state legislature CED8 rim., Tracking Number:GRANT13709102 Funding Opportunity Number:693JJ322NF00009 Received Date:Sep 07, 2022 05:39:51 PM EDT OST-2025-1200 Page 02902 Sierra Club v.
