Project Type:
Replacement of the bridge with a new 40-foot long single-span, 31-foot wide prestressed concrete voided slab beam structure. The new bridge carries an 11-foot lane and a three-foot shoulder in each direction. Chesterfield-Sykesville Road was realigned to improve reverse curve radii.
The bridge is not individually eligible, but contributes to the eligible historic elements. Design included unique architectural features to reflect the historic context of the structure. The bridge parapet and fascia have aesthetic treatments and color that give it an aged look. Wingwalls have wood cladding to mimic the existing mill pond dam. A fish ladder was provided to allow fish to migrate past the spillway.
Construction cost was $3.3 million.
