Environmental Assessment for the Big Spring Bridge Project


The National Park Service, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, has prepared an Environmental Assessment for the improvement of the Big Spring Bridge in Carter County, Missouri. The existing glulam timber bridge was constructed in 1977, and has deteriorated over time. Big Spring Bridge provides access to the Big Spring area, which includes the Big Spring, a campground, a picnic area, a dining lodge, trails and housekeeping cabins.

The Environmental Assessment analyzes a range of rehabilitation and replacement alternatives. These alternatives include: rehabilitation of the existing bridge; replacement with a similar type of timber bridge, replacement with a concrete bridge; and, replacement with a steel truss bridge. The preferred alternative is to replace the existing bridge with a two-span concrete bridge.
