Site work and paving for a bridge / tunnel in Dubuque, Iowa. Conceptual plans call for site work for a bridge / tunnel; and for paving for a bridge / tunnel.

This annual funding provides for maintenance and repair of existing retaining walls that are owned by or are the responsibility of the City of Dubuque in various The annual Bridge Repair and Maintenance program allocates funding for the maintenance, inspection, and load rating of bridges & culverts throughout the City. The periodic maintenance efforts are intended to maximize the serviceable life of these structures and mitigate any premature deterioration which would ultimately result in costly replacements. Some of the most common repair efforts include concrete rehabilitation of bridge decks, substructure, barrier rails, and various culvert components. Other activities include the painting of steel elements, sealing of concrete cracks on bridge decks and railings, and expansion joint maintenance and repairs. The installation and reconstruction of erosion and scour countermeasure systems are also included in this program. This funding also provides for the inspection, program management, and load rating efforts required to comply with the federally mandated National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS). The City's bridges are currently inspected on a biennial basis with one structure requiring an underwater inspection every 60 months. The City currently has 22 structures under its jurisdiction, which includes 13 bridges and 9 culverts. The last inspection, dated October 2019, indicated the city has no structures classified as functionally obsolete, or fracture critical, with one structure classified as structurally deficient. The structurally deficient structure will require rehabilitation or replacement within the next five years and several other structures require routine maintenance and repair efforts. The annual Bridge Repair and Maintenance program funding has been increased to account for the changing bridge load rating requirements and to allow for the increased preventative maintenance and repair needs of bridges and culverts throughout the City. This project is included in the city's fy 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program.
