City of Washington - Brown Street Bridge Replacement NCDOT Project No. B-5174 NARRATIVE E.2c NCDOT TIP Project B-5174 consists of an "in-kind" replacement of a structurally obsolete bridge crossing over Jack's Creek in Washington, NC. The existing bridge is located on Brown Street which coveys stormwater runoff from the impervious roadway, grassed shoulders, and impervious sidewalk on the east side of the bridge through series of two catch basins and pipe networks on the north and south approach of the bridge. The existing bridge utilizes deck drains which discharge directly into Jack's Creek. The proposed roadway, sidewalk, and bridge will not add impervious area or increased flows to the existing outfalls. The existing outfalls will remain utilized (or replaced with in-kind pipes at the same location if needed) and the deck drainage over open waters will be eliminated. In lieu of the sidewalk drainage being intercepted in the roadway, the proposed roadway design will slope the sidewalk away from the road allowing for maximum diffuse flow along the grassed shoulder and down the roadway embankment prior to entering Jack's Creek.
