RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT ADVANCE MILLS BRIDGE REPLACEMENT
WHEREAS, the existing bridge on Route 743 over the North Fork Rivanna River at
Advance Mills was closed in April 2007 following a bridge safety inspection that revealed a high
level of deterioration and deficiencies; and
WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) conducted additional
investigations and testing to confirm the findings of the bridge safety inspection and determined
that it was neither cost effective nor prudent to repair the bridge; causing the temporary closure
of the bridge to be made permanent; and
WHEREAS, VDOT considered and investigated many options for the project including
the use of a temporary bridge and multiple alternative alignments, and each option was
evaluated based on construction time, project cost, public safety and impact to the community;
and
WHEREAS, VDOT held a Design Public Hearing to solicit input on the proposed
replacement of the Route 743 bridge over the North Fork Rivanna River at Advance Mills as
well as limited improvements to the Route 743 approaches (Project: #0743-002-282, P1 01,
R201 ,C501 ,B658) (Federal Project #BR-51 04[163]), located in Albemarle County, Virginia; and
WHEREAS, the public hearing was attended by approximately 59 citizens, written
comments were received from 78 citizens, and recorded comments were received from seven
(7) citizens, with 82 comments being in support of the project; and
WHEREAS, after reviewing the options and considering all aspects of the proposed
project, VDOT recommends approval of the project design as presented at the public hearing
for the following reasons:
· it reduces impacts to adjacent properties, reduces project cost, reduces construction
time and minimizes environmental impacts;
· it proposes a truss-type structure that fits within the character of the existing bridge
and its role in the community;
· it accommodates two traffic lanes with paved shoulders for pedestrians and cyclists;
and
· it meets transportation needs in this area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Albemarle County Board of
Supervisors does hereby support the replacement of the Route 743 bridge over the North Fork
Rivanna River at Advance Mills as proposed by the Virginia Department of Transportation.

Resolution in support of the Advance Mills Bridge:
Mr. Sumpter thanked the Board for their support, and for the special
meeting. He updated the Board on the public comment period, and
concluded that there is overwhelming support from the community to move
forward with the project. He also advised that the concept of the project
using a truss bridge is what is being supported at this point. Other details,
such as if the bridge should be galvanized or painted will come later on in
the process.
He said that a comment was brought forward today about the
possibility of covering the bridge, and that could potentially delay the
project because it would involve the welding of steel, which could impact
the overall strength of the bridge.
Mr. Boyd commented that this project is very important to the Board,
and they hope the project is moved along as quickly as possible. Mr.
Slutzky agreed.
Mr. Sumpter said that the next step will be review by the Central
Office, with right of way and utility location beginning soon after. The
projected completion date will be between Fall 2009 and Spring 2010,
depending on the weather.
At this point, the Board voted on, and approved the resolution in
support of Advance Mills Bridge.
