Concrete Work on McIntosh Road Bridge over the Flint River is almost COMPLETE

The bridge crews forming concrete on the McIntosh Road Bridge will soon be pulling off the site for the last time. Barrier walls on the edge of the bridge deck are complete, as shown on the photograph. The only concrete left to pour on the bridge itself is four wing walls of the bridge. The wing walls are the concrete walls at the end of bridges that contain the date of bridge construction. A base layer of asphalt is in place on both the Fayette and Spalding County roadway approaches to the bridge. Concrete flumes have been constructed to direct storm water down slopes safely to the river. Shoulders are currently being worked for guard rail installation. Slopes need to be dressed and grassed. The installation of the final layers of roadway asphalt, roadway striping and roadway signs will allow GDOT to make final bridge inspections. It is looking like construction of the McIntosh Road Flint River Bridge will be winding down soon.

The McIntosh Road Bridge over the Flint River has a concrete bridge deck!

The rainy weather over the past couple of weeks might have slowed the contractor building the McIntosh Rd bridge over the Flint River, but it has not prevented him from completing the concrete bridge deck on the span from Fayette to Spalding County. The picture below shows the completed deck, soaked from recent rains. A 10’ section on the Spalding County side still is covered in plastic to prevent the newly poured concrete from being damaged by the falling rain. The contractor has yet to form around rebar and pour the outer barrier rails. The rebar for the rails are in place and can be seen on either side of the bridge deck. Earthwork has not begun on the approaches to the bridge from Fayette or Spalding Counties. There is still plenty of work yet to accomplish, but during good weather, the contractor is managing to deliver welcome milestones.
