Problem Antelope Drive in Clearfield, Utah, had two bridges (F-581 and F-582) whose approach and departure slabs needed rehabilitation. The slabs on both structures had settled as much as two inches from years of heavy traffic. As the settlement increased, the impact energy imparted to the slabs and bridge also increased, creating a positive feedback loop of more slab settlement. The settlement and resulting dips in the roadway needed to be repaired to restore safe traffic flow. Analysis URETEK made a site visit to evaluate the extent of slab settlement on the bridge to roadway transitions, and to approximate a cost for the repairs. URETEK performed six rounds of Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing to fully analyze both the approach and departure sides of the F-581 and F-582 bri
