About the Project
This project will replace the structurally deficient Lee Highway (Route 29) bridge over Little Rocky Run. The bridge would be striped for four lanes (two lanes in each direction), but will be built to accommodate six lanes to allow for future widening of Route 29. Pedestrian access will also be provided, with a ten-foot trail on the south side of the bridge, and a five-foot sidewalk to the north.
The current bridge was built in 1932, and is in overall poor condition. The current sufficiency rating for the existing bridge is 20.9 on a scale of 0 (poor) to 100 (very good). The sufficiency ratings developed by the Federal Highway Administration serve as a prioritization tool to allocate funds. The rating considers adequacy, whether the bridge is functionally obsolete, and the service level provided to the public.
The Route 29 bridge carries approximately 36,000 vehicles per day.
