Commercial
Point Road bridge
Pickaway County, Ohio
The Commercial Point Road bridge over the Scioto River required
replacement due to reduced load rating and inadequate width.
The obstacles to resolve the successful replacement of the
700 foot long high truss structure included its historic status,
an adjacent hazmat site, jurisdictional wetlands, mussel colonies,
and the restrictive hydraulic controls of the wide Scioto
River floodplain.
The replacement bridge is a five span prestressed concrete I-beam
superstructure on modified T-type piers and stub abutments.
The substructure units are supported on deep foundations. The
modified location permits traffic to be maintained for the greater
part of the construction period and accommodates the site limitations
present. |
