Proposal for Bridge Replacement at Sheppard Mill Road Over Dan River - Stokes County

The N.C. Department of Transportation proposes to replace the bridge on Sheppard Mill Road over the Dan River in Stokes County. 

The bridge has become structurally deficient. The fact that a bridge is "structurally deficient" does not imply that it is likely to collapse or that it is unsafe. It means the bridge must be monitored, inspected and repaired/replaced at an appropriate time to maintain its structural integrity.
