4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge No. 36 on NC 11 over Maxwell Creek in Duplin County which is considered structurally deficient.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The existing 2-span bridge was built in 1962. ft is a 108-foot long, 2-lane structure that was constructed of a reinforced concrete deck on 1-beams. The proposed replacement structure
will be a 3-span bridge appropmately 170 feet long providing a minimum 33 foot 10-inch clear roadway width. The new bridge will include two 12-foot lanes with minimum 4-foot 11-inch
paved shoulders.
The proposed approach roadway will extend appropmately 780 feet from the southwest end of the new bridge and approximately 785 feet from the northwest end of the new bridge. The
approaches will include two 12-foot travel lanes and 2-foot paved shoulders. Eight -foot grassed shoulders will be included and will widen to 11-feet where guardrail is located. Several
utility lines currently located in the road right-of-way will need to be relocated for the bridge replacement.
Standard road building equipment will be used.
