2022 Bridge Report

2022 Bridge Report for Beaumont Road 7 Harbors Main Bridge and our Blue Walking Bridge at South Beach.

Thank you everyone to allow the board to review and understand our 2022 Bridge Report for our Main Bridge and the Blue Walking Bridge we received end of June this year. As we all know we must do a bridge inspections every 3 years and we would like to share this new report with all our members including the short, mid and long term plans we have discussed with the board to ensure we have a plan on how to move forward. 

As of 2022 both of our bridges are now insured and protected against any accidental or natural disaster damage which give us additional security in case something should happen to both bridges in these kind of events.

Overall, the report for both bridges came back with no major structural findings or problems that require immediate attention, which is unchanged from the previous 2019 report. The majority of findings are cosmetic in nature and the current safety of both bridges is adequate and not to be concerned off. However, for our main bridge on Beaumont Drive has been evaluated, and within 10 years, it is recommended that reconstruction or replacement will be required. 

The entire board under the leadership of Steven Kirchner and Jim Findley, who has been supporting us as a volunteer for many years, have discussed the current situation and we are planning the following actions to be taken within the next 36 months. 

Short Term (3 to 6 months

  • Resurfacing Beaumont Drive 50 feet before and after the bridge
  • Engaging External Company for minor repairs on beams, rust removal and concrete patching
  • Remove old paint from the bridge and fill any minor cosmetic cracks and areas (volunteering)
  • Repaint the entire bridge (volunteering)
  • Initiate minor repairs and patching for Blue Walking bridge.
  • Epoxy inject minor crack on NE pillar, replace individual boards as needed and fix the fencing.

Mid Term (6 to 12 months)

  • Engage professional company with architects and engineers to evaluate what needs to be done to reconstruct or replace the entire bridge.
  • Keep up minor maintenance and repairs as needed.

Long Term (12 to 36 Months)

  • Start SAD process to ensure funding for the bridge reconstruction or replacement can be provided and the project can be realized. 
  • Keep up minor maintenance and repairs as needed.

Any plans and progress will be presented to the membership regularly.
