McChord Airfield Bridge Repair, Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM), Washington

Urgent requirement to repair the collapsed McChord Airfield Bridge at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). The structure was originally constructed in 1951 to accommodate the runway extension and extended in 1954 to add a taxiway and apron. The bridge supports east-west flow of Clover Creek while allowing aircraft and vehicles to traverse Clover Creek along the McChord Airfield pavements including a runway, taxiway, and ramp. Portions of the 1,800 linear foot airfield bridge breached and created ground depressions east and west of the runway which are affecting the integrity of the bridge structure and as a result, the airfield pavements. This project will restore McChord Airfield’s full operational capability to support JBLM core missions and capacity as a Joint Power Projection Platform.
