The proposed Crane Creek Greenway Section B project consists of combination of concrete pathway, retaining wall structure and boardwalks including two bridges. Bridge A over Smith Branch to be a concrete slab structure capable of carrying heavy construction and maintenance vehicles. Bridge B over Crane Creek to be a pre-engineered pedestrian structure.

The total length of the project is 3600 LF beginning at the Columbia Canal headgates and extending northward along the eastern embankment of the Broad River terminating at Crane Creek.

Richland County is located in the center of South Carolina and covers a total area of 756 square miles. The County surrounds the state capital city of Columbia, which is also the County seat. Established in 1785, the County has grown to become home to just over 400,000 residents, and represents a thriving business, industrial, governmental, and educational center. The County employs approximately 1765 people and operates a general fund budget in excess of $100 million dollars.

The County is governed by an 11-member council, which in turn appoints an Administrator to handle daily operations and to provide professional expertise in government management. Under state law, the County is the primary governmental unit for the administration of law enforcement, justice, health, education, taxation, social service, library service, agricultural service, and the maintenance of public records.
