Project Introduction Project Description Rehabilitation of the existing bridge Widen the existing bridge to accommodate future traffic demands and multi-use pathway Roadway widening/turn lane additions for future traffic demands Proposed Construction Costs Right-of-Way = $600,000 Construction = $12,700,000 Proposed Construction Start Construction Begin = Spring 2016 Construction End = Fall 2017 3
Project Study Area 4
Purpose and Need Address Poor Bridge Conditions. Cracking and spalling on bottom of bridge Heavy Cracking along top of bridge Bridge abutments and backwalls showing detioration 5
Purpose and Need (cont.) Address Future Traffic Volumes Failing intersection operations (at the interchange) for Design Year (2036) Traffic Volumes Levels of Service E and F predicted at existing intersections in No- Build Alternative Traffic Analysis also yielded that intersections will be over capacity (v/c > 1.0) 6
No-Build Alternatives Considered No repairs/replacements; only routine maintenance Bridge Rehabilitation Alternatives Option 1 Replace bridge deck at existing width Option 2 Replace bridge deck, widen bridge deck only to accommodate 6-lane section Option 3 Replace bridge deck and widen bridge deck only to accommodate 6-lane and future multi-use path ODOT Preferred Alternative Option 4 Replace bridge deck, widen bridge to accommodate 6- lane section and multi-use path; roadway widening to Etna Crest Blvd./SR 310 and interchange ramps 7
ODOT Preferred Alternative Proposed Improvements Replace and widen bridge deck to accommodate 6-lanes of traffic and multi-use path Widen Eastbound off-ramp for additional turn lanes Widen SR 310 from Columbus Parkway to north of Dairy Queen drive Construct Multi-use path from Columbus Expressway to Etna Crest Boulevard (accommodates future pathway extensions) Signalize intersection of SR 310/Etna Crest Boulevard 8
