Blowout Wash Bridge

The City of Cottonwood planned bridge deck rehabilitation for the Blowout Wash Bridge  located on Pima Street between 2^nd and 3^rd Streets in the City of Cottonwood. The bridge was constructed in 1936 and is a single-span steel girder bridge across Blowout Wash with asphalt-paved roadway and barriers consisting of concrete curb and chain-link fence. ADOT identified deterioration to the bridge deck, barrier, and abutments, and girder corrosion. Per ADOT standards, DSG completed agency scoping, hazardous materials review and a biological review for the project.
