DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS 1. DO NOTHING NO ACTIONS WOULD BE TAKEN LEAVING THE STRUCTURE IN A DETERIORATING CONDITION - EVENTUAL LOAD RESTRICTIONS AND CLOSURE 2. CONCRETE DECK REPLACEMENT - ON EXISTING GIRDERS COMPLETE DECK REPLACEMENT WITH REINFORCED CONCRETE DECK ON THE EXISTING GIRDERS MAINTAINING THE EXISTING CONFIGURATION OF THE STRUCTURE INCLUDING EXPANSION JOINTS. 3. SUPERSTRUCTURE REPLACEMENT AND CONVERSION TO SEMI-INTEGRAL ABUTMENT COMPLETE REMOVAL OF CONCRETE DECK, GIRDERS, CANTILEVER DECK AND PART OF THE BUTTRESSES MAINTAINING ONLY THE ABUTMENTS. THE ABUTMENTS WILL BE MODIFIED TO A SEMI-INTEGRAL TYPE. 4. REPLACE EXISTING STRUCTURE WITH CONCRETE BOWSTRING STRUCTURE COMPLETE REMOVAL OF CONCRETE DECK, GIRDERS, CANTILEVER DECK AND ABUTMENTS.
