Work on one bridge on Pearson’s Falls Road was just completed in July, and already the N.C. Department of Transportation is beginning the process of replacing another one.

The DOT is proposing to replace Bridge No. 4 over a small branch of the Pacolet River on Pearson Falls Road (State Road 1102). The existing bridge was built in 1960 and needs to be replaced because of its advanced age and deteriorating condition, according to a press release issued by the DOT.

Area residents are invited to give their opinions and ask questions regarding DOT’s plan to replace bridge No. 4 on Pearson Falls Road at a meeting Monday from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Saluda Mountain Jamboree on Friendship Church Road in Saluda.

The meeting will be a drop-in workshop; DOT officials will be available to show maps of the proposed project and discuss the plans. Written comments are also encouraged. There will be no formal presentation regarding the project on Monday.

Comments and information received from the public will be taken into consideration as work on this project progresses.
