DearMr.Rogers,

Michael Baker, Jr. (Baker) has completed the NBI and Fracture Critical inspection of the Brent Spence Bridge (I75
and I71) over the Ohio River in Kenton County, KY. The inspection included the 3 spans of the double deck
cantilevered through truss (453 830.5 453). Inspection activities began on November 5, 2012 and were
completedonNovember10,2012utilizing7bridgeinspectors.Bakercompletedthefieldinspectioninaccordance

INSPECTIONINTRODUCTION
The floorbeams supporting the upper roadway were inspected using (2) bucket trucks. The remaining truss
elements were inspected utilizing rope access methods. Traffic was maintained in accordance with the Kentucky
Department of Highways(KDOH) Standard Drawing TTC115, Lane Closure MultiLane Highway Case I. The bridge
was inspected utilizing single lane closures. Lane closures were allowed between 10pm to 6am. Two (2) law
enforcement officers were utilized with interstate lane closures. Traffic control and inspection equipment were
providedbyPittsburghRigging.Amannedsafetyboatwasusedwheneverinspectorswereworkingoverwater.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on evaluation of the inspection findings we recommend the following repairs and maintenance activities in
order to maintain the useful life of the bridge:
1. Replace deck joints with spalled concrete sections and exposed rebar.
2. Repair the broken connection angles for the inspection sidewalk at FB 16.
3. Monitor the cracked concrete on the bottom side of the upper deck adjacent to the finger joints. Repair as
necessary.
4. Monitor cracks on the floor beams. Repair as necessary.
5. Repair the broken and missing guide plates of the sliding pins in upper chord of Span 2.
6. Monitor bearings that are experiencing pack rust. Repair as necessary.
7. Clean and repair all deck drain inlets.
8. Clean troughs under finger expansion device.
9. Repair spalls in the barrier, deck and Pier IV.
10. Replace broken/missing electrical junction box covers.
11. Monitor all pack rust and section loss throughout the truss. Repair as necessary.
12. Monitor paint condition of the upper deck floor beams and areas under the expansion joints. Clean and paint
as necessary.
Refer to the attached Bridge Inspection Report TC 71118 for the condition rating of the various components.
