Subject: RE: Freeport Parkway - Proposed Traffic Control Changes
Jay,
Traffic needs to remain closed for the exterior lane as the deck is not fully bearing on the girders. Since map pattern
cracking on the bottom of deck is visible, full deck repair for the damaged bays is necessary in lieu of partial-depth.
Referring to the TxDOT Concrete Repair Manual, (http://onlinemanuals.txdot.gov/txdotmanuals/crm/crm.pdf), the
damage from the photos is classified as a major spall. We recommend using a Class S mixture based similar properties to
the existing bridge deck, Class S mixture being readily available and performance since this portion of existing deck will
be utilized for the first phase of construction. This will require about 4 days until the concrete has sufficient strength to
return to service. If the city gives us approval by 4pm today, we can assemble a repair plan sheet and have that to you all
by COB tomorrow.
Once the deck repair is finalized, we will give further recommendations on how to proceed with the remainder of
sidewalk/median removal.
Thanks,
Eugene

Jay, I think the contractor understands and appreciates that their method caused the damage and they seem prepared
to deal with it. They need direction from our designers and the City. My request for your team is to:
1. As quickly as possible, assess whether traffic has to stay off of the outside lane, or if there is an option to plate
over the damaged stretch (or some other short-term solution)
2. Within a week (as A&F suggests) provide an analysis of options for the detour of both north and southbound
traffic to the western lanes. Given the difficulty in removing the sidewalk, they have suggested leveling up to
curbline with asphalt, but there may be a better option
I have been on-site and the area of damage if limited, and appears to be isolated to underneath the sidewalk. Given the
limited scope of damage, it seems that some fairly quick-to-implement options may be available. If we need to meet on-
site, let me know.

Jay/Claudio, we need a recommendation regarding handling traffic tomorrow, not next week. The
detour option evaluation can wait, but do we really need the one lane taken down or can we do
something to remediate quickly?

Kent and Darryl,
We ran this by Aguirre & Fields, please see their response below:
Based on the photos attached, it’s clear that the bridge deck has been significantly damaged and the
flexural capacity significantly reduced. Our first recommendation is to barricade the lane nearest to the
damage immediately. To evaluate if their proposal for the HMAC level-up is feasible, we’ll need time to
perform an analysis of the existing bridge deck and girders. We’ll get back to you early next week with
our recommendations.
I’ve cc’d Geoff and Eugene in case there are any other questions/comments on this.
Thanks.
