Old Highway 47 Bridge over Scoggins Creek
This project will replace the Old Highway 47 bridge over Scoggins Creek in Gaston.
The existing Old Highway 47 bridge was originally built in 1921 and is the oldest bridge in Washington County’s bridge inventory. It was built as a "cast in place" three-span bridge, that is 75 feet long and 18 feet wide. The north span has settled and there is severe cracking in the bridge beams and deck across the entire width of the underside of the bridge. The bridge is functionally obsolete with a narrow width that doesn’t provide refuge when large vehicles use the bridge. The approach rail, located at both ends of the bridge is also substandard.
