  10. Chickaloon Bridge • The Chickaloon Bridge is a priority due to low structural ratings of the deck and railing. • Repair costs for the bridge are high, and the lifespan of the repairs would be limited. • Replacing the bridge now will cost less in total than repairing the bridge and then replacing it in the near future.
