DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THE CORRUGATED PLATES ARE ALUMINUM ?

SEE PAGES 64 AND FOLLOWING IN THE CONTECH BOOKLET LINK.

(I'M NOT SUGGESTING CONTECH WAS THE SUPPLIER, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.)

They're at least interesting as a type when they replace something modern. Louisa County replaced a UCEB with one and the arch looks much better IMHO.

They're not common, but I've seen a few...basically an oversize culvert with retaining walls...definitely not historic so probably 1988 like you said.

My assumption here is this is a 1988 replacement for a 1930 bridge.

Unique. Mostly weird.
