LANE COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br /> General Construction <br /> .This program category lists the major road construction projects planned for the County road <br /> system. Excluding right-of-way costs, these projects represent nearly 40% of the expenditures <br /> shown in the program. Projects normally entail modernization by complete reconstruction or <br /> .significant improvements to the existing roadway. <br /> Projects within the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area are specified in the Eugene-Springfield <br /> Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan (TransPlan), <br /> Projects outside the .metropolitan area <br /> frequently come from Lane County's 712 Miles of County Roads by Surface Type <br /> miles of collector roads. Many of these roads _ <br /> do not meet modern geometric standards, 600 ?

These funds will be programmed annually by County staff to respond <br /> to current pavement condition information. Contracts, normally grouping several roads from, the <br /> same geographic area together, are prepared annually. <br /> Structures <br /> Lane County owns 422 bridges that are open to vehicular traffic. Of these, the CIP calls for <br /> improvement or replacement of 7 bridges over the next five years. This program will continue <br /> - with the replacement of structurally or functionally inadequate bridges, but it will not address <br /> seismic deficiencies in the remaining bridges. <br /> Bridge Statistics Sufficiency Ratings <br /> for Lane County Bridges Poor <br /> Brid a Construction T e Quantit Posted load limit 0-50 <br /> AlI Concrete or Concrete/Steel 383 3 Good 2°i° <br /> AlI Timber 4 $ss%o <br /> Concrete/Wood 29 11 Fair <br /> <br /> ~ Steel/Wood 1 51-80 <br /> Steel/VUood/Concrete 5 12°i° <br /> Totals 422 14 <br /> , <br /> 9 <br /> _ <br /> <br />
