The replacement bridge will be wider, higher (reducing the <br /> "dip"), and will provide extended guard railing and improved shoulders for increased travel and <br /> passage safety. The additional permanent drainage easement requested for Orange County's <br /> parcel will allow for necessary grading and drainage as well as the required support and <br /> maintenance of riprap along and around the headwall of the bridge and the bank of Seven Mile <br /> Creek. It may also be used as a construction easement during the construction of the <br /> replacement bridge. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve a dedication of <br /> drainage easement and right of entry to North Carolina Department of Transportation <br /> ("NCDOT") for bridge improvements along Mount Willing Road, upon final review of the County <br /> Attorney, and to authorize the Chair to sign the necessary documents on behalf of the Board. <br />
