By Erin Willis Tile Arbiter The Ada County Highway District completed work Thursday repairing erosion damage under the northbound Capitol Blvd. Bridge. Local scour created holes more than eight feet deep sur- rounding the north support pier, which would ultimately have led to structural damage of the historic bridge if left unchecked. "Scour is the biggest cause of bridge failure in the United States," said Kent Brown, engi- neering manager for the ACHD. . The segmental arch bridge, near the Barnes Towers resi- dence hall, was built in the early 1930s. Built before contemporary building standards, the bridge rests on only eight-foot con- crete footings in the Boise River. Seven decades of water level fluctuations washed away the area gravel, lowering the riverbed roughly 10 feet and creating the deep depres- sions under the supports. Brown said holes, or areas of local scour, open during times of high water levels when the water flow carries away the gravel. When the water level declines, the holes fill with sand, which washes away again when the water level rises. In modem bridge design, Construction equipment braves the cold waters ofthe Boise River behind the Morrison Center. concrete pilings are driven Sand & Gravel Co., Inc., who After placing the concrete Brown said.
