Eighth Street Bridge Fencing
• The existing concrete wall and pedestrian fencing were installed per base bid design in
original contract scope. The contract option to upgrade the fencing was for
"decorative" lighting and fencing. The decorative fencing options were not funded due
to funding constraints of the bridges themselves. The bridge was redesigned to reduce
cost to allow base contract award.
• The State would not pay for the decorative fencing option (5' 7"), and the City did not
have the funds to pay for the decorative fencing options.
• The 8th Street bridges were designed and constructed to Federal , State, and local
standards and guidelines. Federal and State funds could not have been used if the
bridge design did not meet all safety codes.
• Retrofitting decorative fencing (57") based on the original design option would cost
approximately$1,160,000
• Retrofitting curved chain link fencing would cost approximately $825,000
• It is highly unlikely that State or Federal funds would be made available for a fence
retrofit, thus City General Funds would be required.
• Most chain link fencing on bridges over roadways were installed to prevent objects from
being thrown off the bridge into oncoming traffic below, not for suicide prevention.
