A pedestrian fence will be added to the existing downstream parapet adjacent to the planned shared use path. A sand epoxy overlay and concrete surface color coating will be placed on the top of the deck/raised medians and parapets, respectively. The structural steel members will be prepared, primed, and spot painted at the bearings. All of these repairs will take place within the limits of the bridge structure with no land disturbance anticipated for this project.
