Bridge CR347-00.92 Replacement Over Wills Creek

This Level 2 Bridge project involved the replacement of an existing steel bridge. The replacement structure was a new 135’ long single span truss bridge with composite deck with semi integral abutments supported on H-Pile foundation. The ODOT PDP was used in delivering the project’s design. The design effort included hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, geotechnical investigations, survey, bridge type study, design exceptions for stopping sight distance and bridge and shoulder widths, environmental assessment, FAA Airway Clearance Analysis, and preparation of Stage 1, 2 & 3 Plans. The H&H study indicated very deep scouring at the abutments and corners of the approach embankments. As a result, deep sheet piling was used to provide protection against scour. The County and ODOT District 5 conducted reviews. Construction was completed in June 2016.
