WASHINGTON - Construction work is expected on the Inter County Connector after inspections on some bridges in found flaws which presented long-term structural safety concerns.
Problems were found on three bridges along the ICC in Montgomery County.
Project Director Melinda Peters says hairline cracks were found on several concrete piers of the bridges along Emory Lane, Needwood Road and Georgia Avenue.
In a press release, Peters says:
"After consultations with the engineering and contracting teams, and an independent expert, it has been determined that modifications to supplement the support structures are required to ensure the long-term safety and durability of the bridges. The contractor has been directed to immediately begin making short-term modifications and develop the plan for further long-term corrective actions."
