This meeting aims to inform the community about the proposed project, gather feedback, and answer any questions.
The project involves the replacement Bridge No. 05970, a culvert structure that was washed out during a storm event on July 13, 2023. A new 29’-6” long prestressed concrete deck unit bridge providing for a 25’ wide roadway is proposed in its place. The new bridge will provide improved hydraulic performance and meet current standards. Approximately 290’ of roadway reconstruction is also proposed along with the bridge replacement. The construction will be accomplished utilizing the same traffic detour that residents are currently using or via Smith Road if that washed out bridge is replaced first.
Right-of-way impacts are associated with the project which include partial permanent takes, permanent slope easements, and temporary construction easements on two properties.
Construction is anticipated to begin by spring 2027. The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $3.46 million, with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
