Project Overview

The project proposes to replace the bridge on N.C. 119 over Hyco River (Hyco Lake) in Caswell County. The existing 120-foot bridge would be replaced in-place. Traffic would be maintained with a temporary on-site detour to the west side of the existing bridge during construction. 

The proposed bridge would include one 12-foot travel lane in each direction with 4-foot shoulder on right lane and 5-foot shoulder on left lane, with a total length of 130 feet. Land uses within the project vicinity are rural agricultural and forested. The immediate project vicinity is undeveloped and travels over Hyco Lake.

N.C. 119 is a rural major collector with two lanes and 2-foot shoulders. The posted speed limit on N.C. 119 is 55 mph. The existing bridge was built in 1964 and is considered structurally deficient. A bridge is Structurally Deficient if it is in relatively poor condition, or has insufficient load-carrying capacity. The insufficient load capacity could be due to the original design or to deterioration.

The purpose of the project is to replace a structurally deficient bridge. The existing structure was built in 1964. The December 1, 2021 Structure Safety Report indicates that the bridge is considered structurally deficient due to a superstructure condition of 4 out of 9, according to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) National Bridge Inventory standards (NBIS). The bridge has no posted weight restrictions at this time.

RESOURCES FOR PROPERTY OWNERS 


Although the N.C. Department of Transportation works to minimize the number of homes and businesses displaced by a road project, it is inevitable, in many cases, that a certain amount of private property is needed. The following information explains right of way acquisition and answers questions about the process.
