Selph Landing Bridge was a narrow 23ft long single-span concrete slab / steel girder structure built in 1961 that serves both residential and commercial (farm equipment & truck) traffic.
In 2017, this structure was load restricted for AASHTO trucks & Special Hauling Vehicles (4 to 7 axles) due to the concrete deck having numerous spalls with rusting reinforcing bar exposed on the underside (soffit). Also, there is a County road intersection (Richardson Road) located near the southwest corner of the structure that was hard to negotiate with a truck without hitting the steel guardrail attached to the bridge.
Franklin County was awarded $290,460 in FHWA Bridge grant funds for the replacement of Selph Landing Bridge #906-8.79.
The project replaced the existing structure with a 50ft wide steel arch structure that meets AASHTO & SHV truck legal load requirements and provided a larger turning radius for trucks at Richardson Road intersection.
