The proposed project involves the replacement of the existing bridge with a 120 foot (ft) long by 29.75ft wide pre-stressed concrete box beam bridge. The total project length is 0.137 mile and the proposed bridge will be located on existing alignment; therefore, no right-of-way (ROW) or easement would be required. Existing ROW is 70 feet.
Area of Potential Effect: This project was originally surveyed under the Low Impact Bridge Program
(LIBP), and the LIBP stipulates that for projects included in the program, the APE will extend along the roadway for 300 feet from either end of the existing bridge, and then SO feet in width on either side of the road's centerline, or to the width of the existing ROW, whichever is larger. The LIBP program waives the requirement for an ESC. The original APE then was 664 feet in length and 100 feet wide. This addendum considers the new APE to be approximately 723 feet in length (0.137 mile) and 100 feet wide (SO ft. from centerline on either side). The addendum APE then included an approximate additional 25 feet on either end of the project.
