BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
5th Avenue carries one lane of traffic in each direction and is a neighborhood connector roadway under the jurisdiction of the City of Naperville. General features of the surrounding area are adjacent residential housing, a forest preserve, and a fire station.
The 5th Avenue Bridge was originally constructed in 1980 and consists of a single span structure with an overall length of 18 feet 6 inches.
The bridge was inspected by City staff in September 2018 and again one month later in October. Based on the findings, staff recommended a follow-up load rating inspection and calculation be conducted. Staff concluded that the superstructure of the 5th Avenue Bridge should be replaced and, due to its deteriorating condition, the bridge has since been load posted allowing only certain weighted vehicles to traverse as well as put on a six-month inspection schedule.
