SUBJECT: Scoping Meeting for Replacement of Bridge No. 153 on SR 1152 over
Neuse River Overflow in Lenoir County, Federal Aid Project No.
MABRZ-1152(5), State Project No. 8.2200301, TIP No. B-3200
A scoping meeting for the subject project was held on December 17, 1997. The following

Utility conflicts will be low for this project. There are overhead utilities along the east
side of SR 1152 throughout the project area.
Ms. Cyndi Bell of DWQ indicated, prior to the meeting, that the Neuse River is classified
as Class C -NSW. Surface water and wetland impacts should be avoided and minimized where
possible. Stormwater should be handled through grassed shoulders and not directly discharged
into the river.
Mr. David Cox of NC WRC indicated by memo, that NCDOT should routinely minimize
adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources in the vicinity of bridge replacements. NCDOT
should install and maintain sedimentation control measures throughout the life of the project and
prevent wet concrete from contacting water in or entering into the stream. Replacement of
bridges with spanning structures of some type, as opposed to pipe or box culverts, is
recommended in most cases. The Neuse River has high potential for anadromous fish usage and
the NCDOT policy entitled "Stream Crossing Guidelines for Anadromous Fish Passage" should
be followed for this project. y
.;~
1'~Is: bibie Bevin of the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) indicated that there
are no l~iawn~rc~iitectural or archaeological resources in the project area and no unknown
resourcesfire'`'likely to be found; therefore, no surveys will be required for this project: "_
Mr. Jerry Snead of the Hydraulics Unit indicated that a new bridge will be required to
replace the existing bridge. This bridge should be 46 meters (151 feet) in length. This new bridge
should be placed at approximately the same roadway elevation as the existing bridge. An on-site
detour structure, if required, could be a 1800 mm (72 inch) pipe and could be placed
approximately 1 meter (3 feet) lower than the existing bridge.
A desired design speed of 100 km/h (60 mph) should be achieved on this project. The
roadway approaches will have two 3.6 meter (12 ft) travel lanes, and a total shoulder width of at
least 2.4 meters (8 ft). The shoulder will be 1.0 meters (3 feet) wider where guardrail is
warranted. The bridge will be 9.2 meters (30 feet) wide with two 3.6 meter (12 foot) travel lanes
and 1.0 meter (3 foot) offsets on each side. This section of SR 1152 is classified as a Rural Minor
Collector Route in the Statewide Functional Classification System.
The Lenoir County School Bus Transportation Coordinator indicated that no school
busses cross this bridge.
The Traffic Forecasting Unit has indicated that near Bridge No. 153, SR 1152 carries
1200 vehicles per day at present [1997]. This figure is expected to increase to 2800 vehicles per
day by the year 2020. These traffic figures include 2% dual tired vehicles [DUAL], and 4%
truck-tractor semi-trailers [TTST]. The design hourly volume [DHV] is 11%.
The Division Engineer has indicated that replacing the bridge in-place, with traffic
detoured off-site would be acceptable for this project.
Alternates for Evaluation
Alternate 1: Replace Bridge No. 153 in place with a new bridge. Traffic will be detoured along
existing roads during construction.
The TIP cost estimate for this project is $ 770,000 including, $ 700,000 for construction
and $ 70,000 for right of way acquisition. The current project schedule calls for right of way
acquisition to begin in February 2000 and construction to begin in February 2001.

SUBJECT: US 64, Iredell County, Replacement of Bridge No. 67 over South
Yadkin River, State Project 8.1822501, F. A. Project
BRSTP-64(40), B-3194
A scoping meeting for the subject bridge was held in the Transportation Building on
December 17, 1997. y `

The following comments were either called in or given at the meeting:
Cyndi Bell of DWQ commented that the waters of the South Yadkin River are Class
WS-IV. NWI mapping shows no wetlands in the area.
David Cox of the Wildlife Resource Commission (WRC) had no specific
comments with regard to this particular site. The WRC requests that NCDOT routinely
minimize adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources in the vicinity of bridge
replacements.
Jerry Snead of Hydraulics recommended replacement at the existing location and
roadway elevation with a new bridge approximately 95.7 meters (314 feet) long. Traffic
should be maintained on site, and a 50 meter (165 foot) temporary bridge would be
required.
Debbie Bevin of SHPO asked that the bridge be evaluated for eligibility for the
National Register of Historic Places. The house and barn adjacent to the road do not
appear likely to be eligibile for the register, but should be investigated. There is no need
for an archaeological survey near this bridge.
D. P. Wilson of Location and Surveys noted that the land use in the area is mostly
agricultural. The existing alignment is good. No underground utilities were found in the
area. Aerial power and telephone lines parallel the project to the west and cross US 64 to
the north.
The Division Construction Engineer requested that traffic be maintained on site,
either using a temporary detour or a realignment of US 64.
US 64 is a Rural Major Collector. Statewide Planning reports the following traffic
projections:
Current - 2000 VPD, Year 2025 - 4500 VPD, Dual - 4%, TTST - 3%
Bridge No. 67 is 95.7 meters (314 feet) long and 6.7 meters (22 feet) wide. The
proposed replacement bridge will be approximately 95.7 meters (314 feet) long.
DISCUSSION OF ALTERNATES
The following alternate will be evaluated. Roadway design agreed to provide cost
estimates, preliminary alignments, and cross sections in approximately 45 days.
Alternate 1: Replace the existing Bridge No. 67 with a bridge approximately 95.7 meters
(314 feet) in length at approximately the same location and roadway elevation as
the existing bridge. Maintain traffic during construction using a temporary on-site
detour alignment located west of the existing bridge. The temporary detour will
require a temporary bridge approximately 50 meters (165 feet) in length.
TIP ESTIMATE: $ 990,000

SUBJECT: NC 53, Bladen County, Replacement of Bridge No. 43 over Colly
Creek, State Project 8.1420901, F. A. Project BRSTP-53(1),
B-3305
A scoping meeting for the subject bridge was held in the Transportation Building
on December 17, 1997.

The following comments were either called in or given at the meeting:
Cyndi Bell of DWQ stated that the waters of Colly Creek are Class C Swamp.
NWI mapping shows evidence of a braided stream system, so she encouraged replacement
at the existing location to minimize effects to wetlands. This project may require
mitigation if on site detour is necessary, depending on wetland acreage affected.
David Cox of the Wildlife Resource Commission (WRC) had no specific
comments with regard to this particular site. The WRC requests that NCDOT routinely
minimize adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources in the vicinity of bridge
replacements.
Jerry Snead of Hydraulics recommended replacing the existing bridge with a
bridge approximately 52 meters (170 feet) in length at approximately the same location
and roadway elevation as that of the existing bridge. He anticipates road closure and no
need for a temporary on site detour structure.
/~.
John Taylor of Location and Surveys noted that the bridge is on good horizontal
and vertical alignment and there are no indications of aerial or underground utilities in the
area. There is a USGS gauging station near the Southwest corner of the bridge.
Debbie Bevin of SHPO commented that no architectural or archaeological surveys
are needed for this area.
Mike Reese of Traffic Control commented that the off site detour for this project
would be acceptable.
The Division Construction Engineer's only comment was that the construction let
dates should be staggered on projects B-3112 and B-3305 so that an off site detour could
be utilized. B-3112 is the replacement of Bridge No. 53 on NC 11 over Colly Creek,
which is on the detour route for B-3305. The two bridges were scheduled for
replacement at the same time, B-3112 has since been delayed. B-3305 will remain on the
current schedule.
NC 53 is a Rural Major Collector. There are relatively high truck volumes on
NC 53 due to the proximity to three tree farms owned by the International Paper
Company. Much of the land in the area is swamplike and cannot support development.
Statewide Planning reports the following traffic projections:
Current - 800 VPD, Year 2025 - 1300 VPD, Dual - 6%, TTST - 40% (1997)
Dual - 3%, TTST - 15% (2025)
Bridge No. 43 is 46.9 meters (154 feet) long and 7.9 meters (26 feet) wide. The
proposed replacement bridge will be approximately 52 meters (170 feet) long.
DISCUSSION OF ALTERNATES
It was agreed that any maintenance of traffic alternate was not reasonanie at this
location due to high cost, impact on surrounding wetland areas, available adequate
detour routes, and low traffic volumes. Therefore, one alternate will be evaluated.
Roadway design agreed to provide cost estimates, preliminary alignments, and cross
sections in approximately 45 days.
Alternate 1: Replace the existing Bridge No. 43 with a bridge approximately 52 meters
(170 feet) in length at approximately the same location and roadway elevation as
the existing bridge. Detour traffic along NC 210 and NC 11 during construction.
