2.7. Structures

There are eight existing bridges along US 27 within Highlands County, shown in Figure 14. The bridges were built between 1943 and 2002, making them between 20 and 79 years old, respectively. Most of the bridges are constructed with reinforced concrete slabs, however, one is constructed with steel girders, and one is a reinforced concrete box culvert. With the exception of the South-Central Florida Express (SCXE) railroad bridge over US 27, all the other bridges carry US 27 over a waterbody. Table 5 summarizes the structure type and geometry as provided in the existing plans.
