Visit Ohio's Historic Bridges
SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION Visit Ohio’s Historic Bridges Historic and unique bridges have a way of sticking in our collective memories. Many of us remember the bridge we crossed walking to school, a landmark on the way to visit relatives, the gateway out of town or a welcoming indication that you are back in familiar territory. The Ohio Department of Transportation, in collaboration with the Ohio Historic Bridge Association, Ohio History Connection’s State Historic Preservation Office, TourismOhio and historicbridges.org, has assembled a list of stunning bridges across the state that are well worth a journey. Ohio has over 500 National Register-listed and historic bridges, including over 150 wooden covered bridges. The following map features iron, steel and concrete struc- tures, and even a stone bridge built when canals were still helping to grow Ohio’s economy. Some were built for transporting grain to market. Other bridges were specifically designed to blend into the scenic landscape of a state or municipal park. Many of these featured bridges are Ohio Historic Bridge Award recipients. The annual award is given to bridge owners and engineers that rehabilitate, preserve or reuse historic structures. The awards are sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, ODOT and Ohio History Connection’s State Historic Preservation Office. Anthony Wayne Bridge - Toledo, OH Ohio Department of Transportation SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION 2 17 18 SOUTHEAST REGION in eastern Ohio, Columbiana County has Metropark’s Huntington Reservation on the community. A project that will rehabilitate several rehabilitated 1880’s through truss shore of Lake Erie along US 6/Park Drive.

The original study employed 1945 as a cut-off date. This study inventories and evaluates all of the pre-1964 vehicular bridges and grade separations currently maintained in ADOT’s Structure Inventory and Appraisal [SI&A] listing. It includes all structures of all struc- tural types in current use on the state, county and city road systems. Additionally it includes bridges on selected federal lands (e.g., National Forests, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base) that have been included in the SI&A list. Generally not included are railroad bridges other than highway underpasses; structures maintained by federal agencies (e.g., National Park Service) other than those included in the SI&A; structures in private ownership; and structures that have been dismantled or permanently closed to vehicular traffic. There are exceptions to this, however, and several abandoned and/or privately owned structures of particular impor- tance have been included at the discretion of the consultant. The bridges included in this Inventory have not been evaluated as parts of larger road structures or historic highway districts, although they are clearly integral parts of larger highway resources.

Abstract Cable-stayed bridges have emerged as the dominant structural system for long span bridge crossings during the past thirty years. That success is due to a combination of technical advancements and pleasing aesthetics attributes. The interaction of the various structural components results in an efficient structure which is continuously evolving and providing new methods to increase span lengths. The objective of this thesis is to describe in detail the basic structural behaviour of each of the components of cable-stayed bridges, and to present the analysis of a specific cable-stayed bridge which was proposed for the Charles River Crossing.

Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel: I-64 Under James River (#10)
Tunnels Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel: I-64 under James River (#10) Hampton Roads District Age of Original Structures: 60 Years Age of Parallel Structures: 44 Years Approach Bridge Conditions: 3 are Fair and one is Poor Tunnel Condition: Fair ADT = 43,000 Detour: 47 Miles Replacement Required for Approach Bridges Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel – General Information The Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel (HRBT) facility is a 3.5‐mile‐long combination bridge‐tunnel crossing Hampton Roads carrying Interstate 64 in the southeastern portion of Virginia. The HRBT connects the independent cities of Hampton on the Virginia Peninsula and Norfolk in South Hampton Roads. It is a four‐lane bridge‐tunnel composed of 1.8 miles of trestles, two manmade portal islands, and two tunnels under the Hampton Roads Harbor. The westbound and eastbound roadways each consist of two lanes of traffic. The original HRBT (WB) was opened to bi‐directional traffic in 1957 and connected Route 60 (now I‐64) in Hampton with Route 60 in Norfolk as a toll facility. In 1976, the second HRBT (EB) was opened to eastbound traffic. With construction of the second tunnel, tolls were removed and the original 1957 tunnel now carries Westbound I‐64 traffic from Norfolk to Hampton. Built by the immersed tube method, the tunnel was constructed of 300+/‐ foot long prefabricated tubes that were placed by lay‐barges and joined together in a trench dredged in the bottom of the harbor, and backfilled with earth. The Eastbound Tunnel consists of 21 prefabricated tubes. The Eastbound and Westbound Tunnels are separate structures, each of carries a two‐lane highway.
