Improving access to and within federal and tribal lands

MAP-21 Funding Authorized: FY 2013: $2,877,288 FY 2014: $2,898,902 FY 2015: $2,840,783 Federal land acreage for the five core FLMAs: 5.83% Federal public road miles: 1,478.6 Number of Federal public bridges: 449 Recreational visitation: 22,385,505 visitors per year 

Success story: The Middleton Creek Road Bridge Replacement project will replace two structurally deficient bridges (#026 and #022) along Middleton Creek Road in Franklin County, MS. Middleton Creek Road serves as the primary route for timber harvesting activities in the Homochitto National Forest, as well as access for visitors and local residents. Bridge #026 is a 101 foot long single span Pratt-through truss that was originally built in 1925 by MDOT and then relocated to this location in 1963. The existing bridge is structurally deficient in several locations and it will be removed and disposed of. The proposed replacement bridge will be a 200 foot long prestressed concrete beam bridge with concrete barrier rails along each side. Bridge #022 is a 57 foot long timber and precast concrete bridge on timber pilings. The latest bridge inspection report identified rotten/failing headwalls, rotten/crushing piling, rotten/crushed caps and substandard metal railing. The existing bridge will be removed and disposed of. The proposed replacement bridge will be 78 foot long precast concrete bridge with concrete barrier rails along each side. The replacement of these two bridges is critical to avoid a complete closure of the roadway. The replacements will provide improved safety to the users by increase structural capacity, increased width, guardrails and elevated structures to minimize risk from flooding during high water events.

FLAP Project Selection Process

Each FLAP project was selected from a pool of applications submitted by the facility owner in response to a state-wide call for projects. The applications were screened, rated, and ranked using PDC approved rating criteria. The PDC unanimously agreed which projects met the established State program goals and conformed with the project ranking criteria contained in the “Call for Projects SOP”. Based upon these evaluations, the proposed projects were recommended for programming within the available funding for each state. Memorandum of Agreements (MOA) were coordinated and executed for each programmed project prior to obligation of FLAP funds. There were two call for projects that generated 14 applications totaling $9,534,778 funds requested. Eleven of the 14 proposed projects were funded with FY13 and F14 allocations.
