Bob,
Attached below is the prompt corrective action letter from our local
government bridge inspection consultant. Due to the nature and severity of
the deficiencies noted in the KCA letter, we recommend that the Village of
Tequesta close Bridge No. 930227 to vehicular and marine traffic until an
in-depth evaluation can be conducted. If you have any questions or require
any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,
Debbie Meyer, P.E.

RE: Criticai Bridge Deficiency
FDOT 4— I.ocal Government Bridge Inspection
FPN:23406017203 & 23406417203
Bridge ID: 93022?
Tequesta Drive over N. Fork of Loxahatchee River
Dear Mr. Preston:
As part of the referenced bridge inspection contract, our bridge inspection cansultant has notified us that the subject
bridge has critical deficiencies that require prompt corrective action (NBI Deck and Superstructure ratings of 2 Critical
Condition).
The superstructure of the bridge is comprised of prestressed slab units. T'he units are spailed and delaminated
throughout the siab underside with Span 3 being in the worst condition. Slab Unit 3-7 in the wheel path of the
eastbound lane has a spall/delarnination, fuli length (36') x fuli width (4') x 3" deep with 20 ofthe 22 total prestressed
strands exposed in slab underside at 100% section loss (mid-span). This slab unit has permanently deflected approx. 2"
under dead load and 1" additional deflection when heavy trucks cross. A vertical crack in the south side of the slab is
visible at the midpoint deflection. Said crack oontinues under the slab unit. Adjoining Slab Unit 3-8 has a full length x
full width delamination throughout.
We would like to emphasize to the Village the need for immediate action be undertaken ofthe above noted deficiencies
in order to protect the safety of the traveling public and the Village's investment. Due to the structure's critical
condition, it may be necessary to close the bridge until said action is accomplished.
Sincerely,
Jose A. Quintana, P.E.
