Spring Field Review Site 04 2007	Beaufort	Bridge #104 on NC 32 over Broad Creek
~ Site has difficult geometry due to the ox-bow/switchback in the river. ~ There was some general discussion on bridge types and construction methods for difficult situations.
~ Future bridge replacement at a location where the river makes an oxbow. ~ Challenge will be to minimize encroachment into the river. ~ Bridge design is still ongoing - to be let in December 2007. ~ Structure will be cored slabs consisting of 4 - 50' spans. ~ Variety of Environmental issues - top down construction will be utilized. ~ Had difficulty meeting CAMA requirements for runoff. ~ A historic farm is located nearby.
