    $9.5 Million Tentatively Approved to Repair Historic San Diego Bridge


    Renovations to Georgia Street Bridge Will Fix Structural Deficiencies
    SAN DIEGO, CA (February 11, 2015) Councilmember Todd Gloria today announced a critical step
    forward for renovations to the historic 100 year old Georgia Street Bridge, which spans University Avenue.
    The City Council Infrastructure Committee today approved acceptance and expenditure of $9.5 million of
    federal funds to complete construction of the project. The full City Council is expected to consider the
    funding sometime in March for final approval.
    This is a key infrastructure investment. Todays action ensured the historic Georgia Street Bridge
    will be repaired and preserved to remain a landmark between North Park and Hillcrest. I am grateful
    to the Infrastructure Committee for their support of this project and for the federal funds that are
    making the renovations possible, said Councilmember Gloria.
    The Georgia Street Bridge was initially constructed in 1914 and placed on the National Register of
    Historic Places in 1998. The bridge requires seismic retrofitting and rehabilitation, and the city has been
    working with Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration to determine the most effective engineering
    alternatives to address the seismic, geometric and structural deficiencies in compliance with both Caltrans
    and historic guidelines.
    The scope of the project includes seismically retrofitting and rehabilitating Georgia Street Bridge and the
    existing walls that extend along University Avenue between Florida Street and Park Boulevard.
    The bridge will be reconstructed from the arch ribs up;
    University Avenue will be lowered approximately 2 feet 4 inches underneath the bridge to increase
    the vertical clearance, and the lowering will transition to existing street grade before the Florida
    Street and Park Boulevard intersections;
    New soil nail walls will be constructed in front of the existing walls;
    New curbs and gutters will be constructed on both sides of University Avenue;
    The buffer on the north side which diverts traffic away from the arch rib and exists from Florida
    Street to just west of the bridge will be reconstructed;
    The sidewalk on the south side of University Avenue will be replaced and feature a minimum width
    of 5 feet extended to the cross walk at Park Boulevard where the missing curb ramp and
    pedestrian push button will be installed;
    New asphalt will be placed between the Florida Street and Park Boulevard intersections; and
    Bike sharrows will be added to the outside lanes.
    Construction is anticipated to begin by Fall 2015 and last approximately one year. The renovations are
    being coordinated with SANDAGs North Park Mid-City Bike Corridors Project improvements.
    The city previously received $1,742,240 of federal funds to complete the engineering work. Todays action
    brought the total amount of federal funds to $11,742,240 for the Georgia Street Bridge Improvements
    Project.
