Spring Field Review Site 08 2005	Craven,	Bridge #60, US 70 Bus. Over Trent River
~ 1955 Swing span bridge. ~ Latest bridge replacement proposal is double leaf bascule bridge. ~ Questions raised included: ~~ What happens to the swing span island if the bridge is replaced with a double leaf bascule? ~~ Will a fender system be necessary for a single leaf or double leaf bascule? ~~ The Bridge Maintenance Unit would prefer to maintain single mechanism.
Trent River swing-span bridge built in 1955 is to be replaces with a new moveable structure by 2010. The current replacement scheme is considering a double-leaf bascule (drawbridge) to span the ~200' river channel. The new bridge substructure will be designed for vessel impact. The Town of New Bern would like the structure pained "Essex Green."
