The City of Washington has been hard at work on their recovery work from last year’s tornado. Maurer-Stutz has also been busy in the area by performing over 90 separate structural damage consultations related to this storm.
Maurer-Stutz is pleased to announce our continued involvement with this recovery by providing engineering services to the City of Washington for their upcoming project to restore roadways that were damaged during the tornado.
Restoration work is anticipated to include replacement of damaged sidewalks, curb and gutter, pavements and other items in the right-of-way. andnbsp;Funding for this project is provided from the Tornado Relief Funding Program as administered by the State of Illinois.
We have been advocates for Illinois infrastructure for a long time. andnbsp;The American Society of Civil Engineers issues an annual report card for the public infrastructure in all 50 states. andnbsp;Their 2014 report card for Illinois graded Illinois at a C-, which is an overall improvement from the D+ that was issued in 2013. andnbsp;While that is a bit of an improvement, there is much work that remains to be done.

Congratulations to the City of Galesburg on their recently finished structure replacement of the County Line Road Bridge over Cedar Creek Tributary. andnbsp;Maurer-Stutz provided planning and design phase services for this project.
The structure was in need of replacement due to the poor condition of the timber substructure and its low live load carrying capacity.andnbsp; The existing precast concrete deck slab structure was 33’-11” long and 22’ wide. and roadway frequently overtopped at about a 10 year flood event.andnbsp; The roadway was raised to prevent overtopping to above the 20 year flood event.andnbsp; The challenge was to provide a profile and structure to meet the design criteria with the most economical design.andnbsp; The replacement structure is a 68’-2” long and 24’ wide deck beam bridge with open spill-through abutments.
