Title
Authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into agreements with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the design and construction of the High Point Road Bridge and Approaches over the West Beltline Highway (USH 12/14).
Body
PREAMBLE
The State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation is proposing to replace the High Point Road Bridge and Approaches over the West Beltline Highway (USH 12/14). The cost of the design will be funded 100% with federal/state funds. The Construction of the roadway approaches and storm sewer adjustments are funded with 25% local funds, 75% federal/state funds and the bridge replacement is funded with 15% local funds, 85% federal/state funds. New sidewalk construction will be funded 100% by the City of Madison. Any utility work including the manhole and valve adjustments will be funded 100% by the City of Madison.
The existing structure was built in 1966. The deck is in need of replacement, the width is substandard and the length of the bridge will not accommodate the future plans to widen USH 12/14. The proposed project will replace the existing bridge and approaches. The new structure will be 70 feet wide with four 11-foot travel lanes, two 4-foot bike lanes and two 8-foot sidewalks. The new approaches will be 54 feet wide from face-of-curb to face-of-curb, which will accommodate four 11-foot lanes and two 4-foot bike lanes. There will be 5-foot sidewalks and 8-foot terraces on both sides of the road.
The anticipated construction date is 2013.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to execute agreements with the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the design and construction of the High Point Road Bridge and Approaches over the West Beltline Highway (USH 12/14).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that plans and specifications will be approved at a later date after public involvement.
