conditions has been an on-going program for years

Posted Bridge Load Limits
All county bridges are inspected for structure stability on a bi-annual
basis. The county has staff trained to perform these functions. Structural
deficient bridges are submitted for grant applications for repair or
replacement.
This is a listing of all of the bridges on the county road
system that have load limits posted less than legal loads. These bridges are
normally posted for the three types of standard configuration of AASHTO truck
axel spacing. If load calculations determine that a bridge is not capable of
carrying a minimum gross live load of three tons the bridge must be closed.
- West Fork Teanaway Road over Middle Fork Teanaway River
Bridge is posted for 22 tons for a Type truck 1, 27 tons for a Type 2, and 31
tons for a Type 3 truck. A new replacement estimate will be completed and BRAC
funds may be applied for at the spring or fall BRAC meeting.
