DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The current bridge was built in 1935 (80 years old) and features an overall width of 23 feet and spans Mound Springs Creek. The Average Daily Traffic (ADT) count from 2012 was 4,000 vehicles per day. The current bridge is considered functionally obsolete due to inadequate lane widths, shoulder widths and inability to serve current traffic demands and requires replacement.
The Project will serve to widen the existing roadway and replace the current bridge with a new two-lane bridge, addressing safety concerns with improved approaches and shoulders. Environmental process is scheduled to commence shortly and project construction is anticipated to begin no later than Fiscal Year 2020/21.
