The existing 120 foot long, 7-foot-wide Corrugated Galvanized Metal Plate Pipe (CGMPP) is in satisfactory condition; however, the invert is in 5 - Fair condition. The Structure has good structural form at this time however has heavy rust scaling, pitting and large perforations scattered along the barrel invert haunches throughout the structure. This bridge was constructed in 1979.
Given the age of the structure and current condition, the engineering study recommended a full replacement with a precast concrete box culvert.

This project will require a 14-day maximum closure period on U.S. Route 7 to replace the existing culvert with a new precast concrete box culvert, while maintaining traffic on an offsite detour via Vermont Route 7A and Vermont Route 313 in Bennington, Shaftsbury, and Arlington. The Sunderland BM20102 culvert replacement (Bridge 19-5) project, which is bundled with this project, will be constructed during the same period so that only one closure is needed. During the closure, super loads will be detoured to continue north on VT 7A through Manchester or use U.S. Route 4 in New York. The 14‑day closure could occur anytime between mid‑August and mid‑October 2026, and the exact dates will be determined by the contractor.
