This study evaluates short-, mid-, and long-term options for rehabilitation or replacement of Town Highway Bridge #9 on Hollow Road (TH #5) in Hinesburg, Vermont.

CCRPC, in partnership with Cities of Winooski and Burlington, and the Vermont Agency of Transportation, completed this study for the US RTs 2/7 bridge over the Winooski River.  The purpose of the project is to improve safety for all users while maintaining structural integrity and continuity of this vital link between the two cities.  Several issues and needs motivated the parties to look at this bridge, including: 1) Addressing the condition of this aging bridge structure as it is in the latter stage of its service life, 2) providing designated safe lanes for bicyclists, 3) continuing the necessary two lanes of traffic in both directions, and 4) improving safety conditions for pedestrians.

As of November, 2011, Bridges 2.40, 4.02 and 4.12 rate sufficient for freight car weights up to and including 315K without speed restriction on an infrequent basis. 263K and 286K freight traffic may be operated on a regular basis (including unit trains), provided trains with 286K cars not exceed 25 mph over bridge 4.12. 315K freight traffic may be operated on a regular basis (including unit trains), provided trains with 315K cars not exceed 10 mph over bridge 4.12, or 25 mph over bridge 4.02.

The purpose of this investigation was to conduct a structural assessment of the existing bridge, summarize its condition and determine appropriate repair options. On site assessment included sounding the soffit of the concrete arch as well as obtaining concrete cores for laboratory testing. Alternatives presented in this report are potential solutions for addressing concerns about the structural degradation of the existing arch bridge.
