‘Good Moring
‘This morning we had an internal (Fort Werth District) meeting to discuss the
current Oncor / Margaret Hunt Hil Brge proposal, There are a number of
‘Issues that wil require adaliona discussion with Oncor, including
1. The boring logs show sandiwater at 12° dopth The bridge plers that were
installed onthe riverside of the lovee encountered these layers and caused
significant problems during constuction. Furhemore, the constuction of
thase pars wl now cequie post-constuetion remediation measures to
alleviate the “substantia” isk caused by the constucton
2. When the proposed entrance ramps to the new NTA Ténity Parkway are
‘superimposed over the area, the proposed relocation site of tho tower that =
est ofthe bridge is in dtect confit withthe ramp alignment. Ths tower
wil key have to be relocated off the levee due to Ws confit
3. Two pressure sewer lines (12' and 16 diameter), one on each side ofthe
bridge, currently pass under tho veo. These sewer nes create adional
challenges to constuction ofa diaphragm wall, if such 2 wall were tobe
Proposed as a remediation measure,
Potential options are to move the towers ofthe levee or build a series of
slaphragm walls to avold the prossure sewer lines
Geotechnical Branch has not competad afl review ofthe plans/designe, but
the issues idantiad would be show stoppers without futher planningldesign
