Project Details

Existing-belmont-bridge.gif

Charlottesville is administering a $9.2 million project to replace the Belmont Bridge, which carries Avon Street over the Buckingham Branch railroad line. The bridge has a current sufficiency rating of 49.6 out of 100. Construction on the replacement is not expected to begin until 2014.

Jeanette Janiczek is the project manager for the City of Charlottesville. The project is one of three currently being administered by the City's Department of Neighborhood Development Services.

According to the MPO's project tracking matrix for February 2008, the City's cost benefit analysis supports full replacement. An Environmental EQ 429 form has been submitted for approval. A design RFP is being developed.

MMM Design of Charlottesville has been selected to serve as the design consultant for the project[2].

History

The bridge was originally built in 1961. In 2003, the Belmont Bridge was determined by the City of Charlottesville to be “rapidly deteriorating” and a plan was put in place to replace it. According to the staff report prepared for the April 6, 2009 City Council meeting, the elements of the bridge were beginning to crumble, and replacement was recommended rather than repair.

Status

According to the MPO's project tracking matrix for December 2008[3], the City's cost benefit analysis supports full replacement. An Environmental EQ 429 form has been submitted for approval. A design RFP is being developed. There is no estimated construction date. According to the Daily Progress[4] (citation needed), almost $3.5 in state and federal funding has been accrued, and the City will spend $166,000 this year. The additional money will come frrom VDOT and is included in the Six Year Plan.
