Cultural Resources Survey of the Road S-104/Horse Creek Bridge Replacement Project, Aiken County, South Carolina

Summary

"The Department proposes to replace the existing 90 by 26-foot obsolete bridge, built in 1968, with a modern reinforced concrete flat slab bridge 100 feet in length and having a 44-foot clear roadway width. The new bridge is expected to be supported on cast-in-place reinforced concrete bent caps and pre-stressed concrete pile foundations. The existing bridge will be removed and the new roadway section will be placed on the existing horizontal alignment and the vertical alignment will be raised approximately two feet. The approach roadway section will be 24 feet of pavement with lO-foot shoulders (four feet paved and six feet grassed). Approach work will include the necessary embankments for shoulders to accommodate guardrail placement and for approach slabs and surfacing work to tie the new bridge to the existing roadway. The road will be closed and traffic detoured during construction. The present right of way is 75 feet (37.5 feet each side). The proposed new right of way will be 150 feet (75 feet each side) in the vicinity of the bridge. This new right of way will be approximately 315 feet in length on the east side and 170 feet on the west side."
