Vine Street Pedestrian Bridge Project
Project Title:
Vine Street Pedestrian Bridge Project
Vermont Agency of Transportation, LTF Project Number: AREH (7)
Project Description:
Replacement and upgrade to the aging pedestrian bridge that spans the North Branch of the Winooski River between Vine Street and Mechanic Street. Project consists of removal of the existing pedestrian bridge, with a provision for the City to salvage the two existing I-Beam main supporting members, and replacement of the bridge with a new galvanized prefabricated bridge. The new bridge will utilize a pony truss system, similar to the style of the existing bridge. The project will include the installation of new support footings behind the existing bridge abutments, relocation of overhead wires, new paved approaches, a new water main gate valve on Vine Street, and replacement of the bridge suspended municipal water main. The new bridge will be 10ft wide to accommodate bicycle traffic and provide for more efficient maintenance.
Special Project Note: Bridge to be closed during construction. Pedestrian traffic will be detoured to the Spring Street Bridge.
Existing Condition:
The bridge is a simple span steel bridge constructed in the early 1970’s.
