The Whiskey Creek RAP project replaced the old Neace Bridge with a new precast concrete “D” arch structure. The old Neace Bridge was a steel bridge on timber abutments. The new bridge is entirely precast concrete including the footings, wing walls and arch barrel sections. The structure sits directly on bedrock significantly reducing the danger of scour.

County forces were used for the removal of the old bridge, all site work, assembly of the new structure and final site work. Contractors were used for the crane work, paving and guardrail work.

The project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget. Only positive community feedback has been received.
