Agenda Item Text:
Adopt Resolution 16-43 to rescind the weight restriction on certain reconstructed bridges as described therein.
Background:
Recommendation: This department recommends adopting the accompanying resolution to remove weight restrictions for certain reconstructed bridges.
Background (Brief): Every year ADOT inspects half of our bridges so that each bridge is inspected at least once every two years. Based on the inspection, weight limits are established and reconstruction work is scheduled depending on need and available resources.
The following is a list of bridges that had protective weight limits established and were subsequently reconstructed.
These reconstructed bridges were subsequently inspected, no longer require weight restriction and are no longer signed. The final step is to rescind any previous Board resolution that established the prior weight limit.

These reconstructed bridges were subsequently inspected, no longer require weight restriction and are no longer signed. The final step is to rescind any previous Board resolution that established the prior weight limit.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Upon Board adoption, the department will correct signs as appropriate.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If the resolution is not adopted, the prior weight limit will remain in the record.
