The Davidson R. Bridge (Structure No: 081107000003122) underwent a routine inspection on July 12, 2023, by the USDA Forest Service, Region 8. The bridge, located in Transylvania County, North Carolina, carries NFSR 803 over the Davidson River. Key findings include minor hairline cracking on the deck underside, 1/4" deep scaling with 1/16" map cracking on the deck topside, and several joints pulled apart in the downstream utilities. Paint flaking with surface rust was noted on the girders, and up to 3/8" scaling and abrasion at the base of columns with random spalling. The inspection also identified up to 5-6 feet of scour at the piles of Bent 2, with a recommendation for riprap. The bridge has an overall structural evaluation code of 6 (satisfactory) and a scour critical code of 5 (stable). Recommended work items include routine bridge inspection every two years and embankment repair for the approach fill.
