The purpose of this meeting is to provide the community an opportunity to learn about the proposed project and allow an open discussion of any views and comments concerning the proposed improvements. A Q&A session will immediately follow the presentation.
The purpose of the project is to replace the existing 28’-7” long single span bridge with a new 43-foot-long, single span bridge to address the poor condition of the existing bridge substructure due to observed undermining at the scour walls and abutments. This project will also eliminate the scour critical condition and improve the hydraulic performance of the bridge. The existing substandard bridge rail system will be replaced with one that meets current safety standards. Roadway access will be maintained with a 12-foot-wide temporary bridge utilizing temporary signalization and a one-way, alternating traffic pattern.
There are right-of-way impacts associated with the proposed improvements. The proposed bridge replacement will require a Partial Take (1 Property), Slope Easements (5 Properties), Temporary Construction Easements (4 Properties), and a Guiderail End Anchorage Easement (1 Property).
Construction is anticipated to begin Spring 2027 based on the availability of funding, acquisition of rights of way, and approval of permits. The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $3.47 Million. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
