Replace bridge no. 0770199 over ford creek on SR 1629 (flat rock road). Bridge replacement

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) a Project Grant of $863,905 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 2, 2025, for the replacement of Bridge No. 0770199 over Ford Creek on State Road 1629 (Flat Rock Road) in Granville County, North Carolina. The project deliverable consists of a single-span replacement bridge structure approximately 85 feet in length, featuring 33-inch box beams on 4-foot caps with a 60-degree skew, two 11-foot travel lanes, and 4.5-foot shoulders on each side to accommodate safe passage over Ford Creek.

The project is scheduled for ultimate completion on October 31, 2031, allowing sufficient time for design, permitting, environmental review, and construction phases. As a state-administered federal-aid highway project, NCDOT will oversee all aspects of design and construction in coordination with FHWA oversight requirements, including environmental compliance and documentation per the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. This bridge replacement project aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's core objective of improving and preserving critical transportation infrastructure on public roads.
