Bald River Bridge Replacement

The Bald River Falls Bridge project will replace the existing 3-span, 200 ft bridge with a new 2-span structure. The existing structure is a two lane, 20 ft wide bridge comprised of concrete abutments, steel girders, concrete deck and 2 concrete piers. The new structure will be 170 ft long two lane structure with sidewalk and observation deck. The structure will be founded on bedrock with shallow foundation spread footings. The abutments/wingwalls will be concrete and will include rock anchors for support. The superstructure will be concrete box beams. A single 3-column center concrete pier will be located at center span. Additional work will include clearing, grubbing, bridge rail, guardrail, masonry and paving. Tellico River Road will be closed during construction. The awardee will be responsible for maintaining the detour route through the life of the contract.
