SR 570 (Polk Parkway) Bridge Painting

DRMP provided plans preparation to facilitate the repainting of structural welded steel plate girders and cleaning of concrete on bridges located on or over SR 570 (Polk Parkway).  These straight bridges were located at westbound and eastbound SR 570 (Bridge Nos. 160257, 160258) over SR 37 (South Florida Avenue) and CR 542 (Bridge No. 164507) over SR 570 (Polk Parkway).  In addition, DRMP designed redundant structural support for underdeck pendant luminaires, including fatigue calculations.

The repainting provided cost savings to the FTE by extending the life of the bridge steel plate girders.
