Photo 1 Looking downhill / south along the road at the Shop Slide. Both lanes adjacent to the median island are showing more distress than in 2005. Photo 2 Uphill lane adjacent to the median island. Note the bow in the guardrail, suggesting down slope movement. 08\15\85-37 PH 9 Date: June 13, 2006 Page 1 of 10
Photo 3 Cracking across the road at the down slope end of the island. Note the pronounced dip in the road at this location. This dip has worsened since 2005. Photo 4 Cracking across the road at the down slope end of the island. There is a pronounced dip in the road at this location, particularly in the left / down hill lane. 08\15\85-37 PH 9 Date: June 13, 2006 Page 2 of 10
Photo 5 Tilted telegraph poles on the up hill side of the road. Photo 6 Cracking at the base of the upper slide. This is the more obvious southern extent of the sliding on the road. 08\15\85-37 PH 9 Date: June 13, 2006 Page 3 of 10
Photo 7 Erosion along the down hill side of the road near the cracking noted in photo 6. Downhill rill / minor gully erosion in photo 8 below is at the far end of the erosion, adjacent to the cracking in the road (arrow). Photo 8 Erosion down slope from the road, near the cracking in photo 6 and the erosion noted in photo 7. 08\15\85-37 PH 9 Date: June 13, 2006 Page 4 of 10
Photo 9 Overview of the slope below the road. There are no significant changes on the slope. Photo 10 Overview of the west end of the Highway 2 Overpass. 08\15\85-37 PH 9 Date: June 13, 2006 Page 5 of 10
Photo 11 South side of the overpass, showing the gabion mat-lined ditch. The gabion mats and check drop have collapsed locally, indicating erosion under the lining. The situation does not appear to have worsened significantly since 2005. Photo 12 The south west corner of the bridge structure. There has been no significant change at this location. 08\15\85-37 PH 9 Date: June 13, 2006 Page 6 of 10
Photo 13 Looking south along the rail line. Note the separation between the piers and concrete slope facing on the right side of the rail line. The separation does not appear to have changed significantly. Photo 14 Looking north along the railway line. Note the bulge at the base of the concrete slope facing. 08\15\85-37 PH 9 Date: June 13, 2006 Page 7 of 10
Photo 15 Looking south across the highway at the joint between the bridge deck and the abutment. There does not appear to have been any significant change at this location. Photo 16 Bearings and retrofitted restraining plates at the east side of the overpass. 08\15\85-37 PH 9 Date: June 13, 2006 Page 8 of 10
Photo 17 Detail of the bearings, showing apparent movement between the bridge deck and abutment, as shown by movement between the two halves of the bolt. Each of the bearings shows the bridge deck has apparently moved towards the NW (or the abutment has moved to the SE). Photo 18 Looking south along the east abutment of the overpass, at the NE corner. Note the cracking in the concrete abutment. 08\15\85-37 PH 9 Date: June 13, 2006 Page 9 of 10
Photo 19 Piers on the east side of Shaftsbury Trail, on the east side of the overpass. Note cracking on the uphill / east side, and the gap at the west side. Photo 20 Gap at the base of the piers on the east side of Shaftsbury Trail. Note that the sense of movement is opposite from those piers on the west side of the rail line – in both cases, the gaps are at the down slope side. 08\15\85-37 PH 9 Date: June 13, 2006 Page 10 of 10
