PROJECT NUMBER: NM ERFO FS SNTFE 2022-1(1)
PROJECT NAME: EL PORVENIR BRIDGE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this project is to replace the previous bridge which was destroyed in the Hermits Peak/ Calf Canyon fire in April 2022. The bridge is located in the Santa Fe National Forest, approximately 17-miles northwest of Las Vegas, NM.
The project is considered 4R and located in Mountainous terrain.
SCOPE OF THE WORK: The proposed improvements include a new bridge west of the previously destroyed structure. The replacement bridge is planned to be a prefabricated steel structure with a span of 97 feet and a width of 16 feet. The bridge will be founded on drilled shafts with a structural metal decking and reinforced concrete topper. In addition, the scope includes removal of an existing low water crossing, which is serving as a temporary diversion for traffic along the route, and obliteration of a portion of the existing road. Embankment work will be required for the realignment of the aggregate surfaced road.
