City of Lexington – Lime Kiln Road bridge
City of Lexington – Lime Kiln Road bridge
The purpose of this project is to replace an aging bridge over Woods Creek on Lime Kiln Road in the City of Lexington. The existing superstructure will be replaced, and the bridge will be widened to the upstream side without adding vehicular capacity.
During construction, the road will be closed to vehicular traffic and a detour will be in place. However, the bridge will be constructed in stages to allow for uninterrupted pedestrian traffic. The intent is to minimize impacts on Lime Kiln Bridge Park, Chessie Nature Trail and Woods Creek Trail.
In 2022 this segment of Lime Kiln Road had an average traffic count of 2,031 vehicles per day. By the design year of 2048 the estimated daily traffic volume is 2,900 vehicles per day.
The total estimated cost of this project is $3,424,488 which includes $607,775 for preliminary engineering, $409,560 for right of way acquisition and utility relocation, and $2,407,153 for construction.
Benefits
This project improves safety by replacing a bridge at the end of its service life with a new structure capable of handling modern weight vehicles.
