increasingly Structurally unsound and must be replaced. Cabbage wants to create a bridge that will echo the current bridges unique look.
“We want to create something in the community that has presence,” said Cubbage. His initial concept, which he cautions is in the very preliminary stages, is of a patterned concrete bridge with truss-like structures similar to the current bridge attached to the sides.
According to Cubbage, structural problems will not allow him to use the trusses from the current bridge in the new one. In the proposed new bridge, the truss structures will be architectural features” only, with no structural purpose. The proposed new bridge would also feature space for pedestrian use. Cubbage’s proposal will also limit the need for a road closure to replace the bridge.
"What we’re trying to do is construct the new bridge right beside the old one, and then remove the old one,” explained Cubbage. The proposed bridge project is expected to involve at least one public hearing before being decided, and the replacement is expected by Cubbage to happen in the next 30 to 60 months.
New fee for road violators
The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to adopt new statewide legislation that will assess a flat fee of $250.00 to drivers involved in specific violations or incidents that require county emergency vehicles. The violations involved include reckless driving, driving under the influence, improperly leaving the scene of an accident, or driving on a suspended or revoked license. Anyone convicted of those violations in incidents that caused a Rappahannock County emergency vehicle to respond to the scene will be charged the $250.00 fee.
Cell towers
The Rappahannock County BOS unanimously voted to approve the application by Cingular Telecommunications to add their antennas to two existing “stealth” monopole antennas owned by the Sprint corporation. Cingular’s additions will add another 16 feet to the existing monopoles, but will other wise appear identical to the existing structures. Cingular’s application to add antennas to the silo at Rose Hill must still go back before the planning commission before it could be voted on by the BOS.
