• Abstract:
  Ohkay Owingeh sought funding to accelerate construction of a small, two-lane bridge within their community. The Every Day Counts (EDC) initiative promoted an accelerated bridge construction schedule through the use of a Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) abutments and Pre-fabricated Bridge Elements and Systems (PBES). It is with these technologies that Ohkay Owingeh designed a new structure for the replacement of the White Swan Bridge. AID funding was be used for the pre-fabrication of the superstructure and construction of the GRS abutments. Since these technologies were successfully deployed, both will be proposed on future projects. The White Swan Bridge (Bridge No. M210) in Ohkay is located approximately one mile north of NM Hwy 74 on White Swan Road within Ohkay Owingeh. The bridge is over one of the largest drainage basins in Ohkay Owingeh, and has experienced flooding on several occasions. The bridge was comprised of a batter of four 4 ft x 10 ft. precast box culverts. Two of the four joints of the spans were separated to approximately one and one half inch gap.
