We've also included a list with all <br />deficient bridges in the county and a map showing all bridges in the county <br />with ratings below 80/1 00. The bridge map further distinguishes the <br />bridges below 50/1 00 and the code three bridges. A second map included <br />illustrates all proposed 2005 highway overlay projects and the 2006 federal <br />aid highway projects. <br /> <br />The proposed highway projects are mainly asphalt overlays of existing <br />pavements. Exceptions are the highway 12 grading and Cass 20 bridge <br />approach work. Highway projects were prioritized based on pavement <br />condition index, traffic volumes, pavement age and other factors. <br /> <br />Generally bridges must have a sufficiency rating below 50/1 00 to be <br />eligible for federal aid. There are about 35 bridges in Cass County with <br />sufficiency ratings below 50. <br /> <br />County Brid2cs: Three of these deficient bridges are on county highways. <br />There are two other county highway bridges that we expect may be eligible <br />for federal aid even though they are currently rated over 50. The county <br />bridges have been give priority for future replacement. <br /> <br />Township Brid2cs: The deficient township bridges included in the <br />recommendations to be replaced were based on road type, availability of <br />alternate routes, traffic volume, and other factors. <br />
