B-5629: Bridge Replacement Old Mill Creek Rd Brunswick Co
B-5629: Bridge Replacement Old Mill Creek Rd Brunswick Co
The N.C. Department of Transportation proposes to replace Bridge No. 40 over Mill Creek on Old Mill Creek Road SE in Brunswick County. The existing bridge, built in 1968, is considered structurally deficient. Structurally Deficient means the bridge is in relatively poor condition or has insufficient load carrying capacity, which may be due to the original design or to deterioration.
The fact that a bridge is "structurally deficient" does not imply that it is likely to collapse or that it is unsafe.
It means the bridge must be monitored, inspected and maintained.
Project Overview
The project proposes to construct the replacement bridge on existing location with an offsite detour. Old Mill Creek Road SE is anticipated to be closed at the project location for up to 12 months during construction, which is scheduled to begin in January 2023.
Traffic will be detoured during construction onto Swain Road (S.R. 1517), Funston Road SE (S.R. 1518), and N.C. 87 for approximately three miles. The proposed bridge will be approximately 100 feet long and 30 feet-10 inches wide and will include two 11-foot travel lanes and paved shoulder on the outside travel lane.

RESOURCES FOR PROPERTY OWNERS
Although the N.C. Department of Transportation works to minimize the number of homes and businesses displaced by a road project, it is inevitable, in many cases, that a certain amount of private property is needed.
