The Cane Hill Bridge Project is located on County Route 11/1 over the Eighteen mile Creek in Putnam County, West Virginia. The WVDOH is evaluating five
alternatives for the bridge replacement project.
Alternative #1- Proposes constructing a new bridge at existing location with a detour on existing roads.
Alternative #2- Proposes to build a new bridge upstream of the existing bridge.
Alternative #3- Proposes to build a new bridge downstream of the existing bridge.
Alternative #4-Proposes to rehabilitate the existing bridge.
Alternative #5- Proposes the no build option. Due to the deteriorating condition of the existing structure, the No-Build Alternative will eventually result in the permanent closure of the bridge to traffic.
The WVDOH recommends that Alternative #1 be considered as the preferred alternative. This alternative provides a new bridge at the existing location while utilizing
County Route 11/1, County Route 10, and County Route 11/2 to maintain vehicular access during construction.
