The Johnson County Highway Department, with funding from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is proposing to proceed with the above referenced bridge project, involving Bridge No. 98 which carries North CR 700 East over Little Sugar Creek in Needham Township, Johnson County, Indiana. The existing superstructure will be replaced in-kind with a two-span Steel Rolled Beam Bridge with a composite concrete wearing surface. The proposed superstructure is 55.5-foot span with a total structure length of 112.5 feet. The proposed structure width and clear roadway width is 28.5 feet. ATS-1 bridge rail is recommended on the structure. A guardrail transition will be provided on the reinforced concrete bridge approaches. To better align with the channel, the structure will be skewed 40 degrees. The project will require approximately 0.59 acres of permanent right-of-way and approximately 0.20 acres of temporary right-of-way. The surrounding terrain is level, and the adjacent land usage is generally agricultural fields with a residential property adjacent to the project area to the east. There is a forested riparian corridor to the northwest and southeast of the project area along Little Sugar Creek. There will be approximately 0.21 acres of tree clearing as a result of this project. The dominant tree species noted were; Acer negundo (boxelder, FAC) and Acer saccharinum (sugar maple, FACW). The understory consisted of Viola sororia (common blue violet, FAC) and Elymus virginicus (Virginia wildrye, FACW). There will be no permanent lighting installed. Temporary lighting may be used during the construction process. The July 7, 2021 Bridge Inspection Report stated there was no evidence of bat species seen or heard under (or in) the structure. A review of the USFWS database on January 3, 2022, did not indicate the presence of endangered bat species in or within 0.5 mile of the project area. Construction will occur during the construction season 2024 (typically March to October). Johnson County Highway Department, with funding from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is proposing to proceed with the above referenced bridge project, involving Bridge No. 98 which carries North CR 700 East over Little Sugar Creek in Needham Township, Johnson County, Indiana (see attached Figure 1). The existing structure is a two-span adjacent concrete box beam bridge on reinforced concrete abutments and hammerhead built in 1972. The span length is 55.5 feet with a total structure length of 112.5 feet. The structure has as 40-degree skew and an out-to-out deck width of30.5 feet. The clear roadway width is 28.5 feet. The existing superstructure will be replaced in-kind with a two-span Steel Rolled Beam Bridge with a composite concrete wearing surface. The proposed superstructure is 55.5-foot span with a total structure length of 112.5 feet. The substructures will remain in place and the bridge will remain at a 40-degree skew. The proposed structure width and clear roadway width is 28.5 feet. A TS-1 bridge rail is recommended on the structure. A TGS-1 guardrail transition will be provided on the reinforced concrete bridge approaches. Curved W-Beam guardrail sections will connect to the TGS-1 and have a terminal end section. The need for the project is due to the overall deterioration ofthe existing structure. Bridge inspections are completed on a yearly basis for bridges in poor condition. The condition ratings range from 0 to 9, 0 being a failed structure and 9 being a structure in excellent condition. In the Indiana Department ofTransportation (INDOT) inspection report dated July 7, 2021, the deck and superstructure have a condition rating of 4 - Poor Condition (advanced deterioration) and the substructure has a condition rating of 6 - Satisfactory Condition (minor deterioration). The channel is noted and rated as 6 - Bank Slump, widespread damage. The purpose ofthe project is to address the deteriorated condition ofthe bridge, which carries North CR 700 East over Little Sugar Creek and increase the condition rating ofthe deck, superstructure and substructure to at least 7 (good) out of 9 and the service life of a minimum of75 years.
