PURPOSE OF PRESENTATION & PROJECT INTRODUCTION

SR 4012 Section B04 & B08 Project

The purpose of this PowerPoint presentation is to introduce the project to the public, gather feedback, and present the detour information.

The purpose of the project is to maintain a safe and reliable crossing of Brady’s Run Road over the South Branch of Brady’s Run and the Tributary to Brady’s Run in Chippewa Township, Beaver County.

Full bridge and culvert replacement.

Minor roadway and guiderail work on approaches.

DETOUR ROUTE – 9 MILE LENGTH

In a clock-wise rotation – the detour route utilizes the following state routes:

travel east on Brady’s Run Road (SR 4012) to the intersection with Grange Road (SR 4032) – approximately 1.2 miles

turn right onto Grange Road (SR 4032) and continue to the intersection with Dutch Ridge Road (SR 4020) – approximately 1.5 miles

turn right onto Dutch Ridge Road (SR 4020) and continue to the intersection with Tuscarawas Road (SR 4028) – approximately 0.2 miles

turn right onto Tuscarawas Road (SR 4028) and continue to the intersection with Libson Road (SR 4022) – approximately 0.7 miles

turn right onto Libson Road (SR 4022) and continue to the intersection with Old Blackhawk Road (SR 4029) – approximately 2.4 miles

turn right onto Old Blackhawk Road (SR 4029) and continue to the intersection with Groscost Road (SR 4012) – approximately 0.2 miles

turn right onto Groscost Road (SR 4012) and continue straight as this road will become Brady’s Run Road – approximately 2.8 miles

DETOUR ROUTE – 9 MILE LENGTH

PROPOSED PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS SECTION B04

Full bridge replacement

Existing 39’ Single Span Two-Girder Concrete Encased Steel Structure will be replaced with a 48’ Precast PrestressedAdjacent Box Beam Structure or Feasible Alternative

Proposed structure will provide for two lanes of traffic

Project will be built under a full detour

Guiderail and Minor Drainage Updates

Roadway work on bridge approaches will include minor realignment

Minor right-of-way takes and temporary construction easements will be required

Construction anticipated during summer/fall of 2018

PROPOSED PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS SECTION B08

Full culvert replacement Existing 12’ Single Span Concrete Slab Structure will be

replaced with a 14’ Cast-In-Place Culvert or Feasible Alternative.

Proposed structure will provide for two lanes of traffic

Project will be built under a full detour

Guiderail and Minor Drainage Updates

Roadway work on culvert approaches will include minor realignment so as to align with the widened culvert crossing section

Minor right-of-way takes and temporary construction easements will be required

Construction anticipated during summer/fall of 2018

NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (NEPA)

Public outreach begins with the NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) process.

NEPA requires agencies to integrate environmental values into their decision-making processes by considering the environmental impacts of their proposed actions and reasonable alternatives to those actions.

As a part of NEPA, the Section 106 Process seeks to accommodate historic preservation concerns by identifying historic properties potentially affected by the project, assess the effects and seek ways to avoid, minimize, or mitigate any adverse effects on historic properties.

NEPA also includes public involvement activities and gathering feedback from the public
