HUESTON WOODS COVERED BRIDGE
The
Preble County Engineer’s Office is planning to replace the structurally
deficient, functionally obsolete steel truss bridge over Four Mile Creek with a
covered timber structure with walkways that meet FHWA requirements for load
carrying capacity and geometrics. This
improvement will be made to better suit the needs of the traveling public.
The
structure currently at this location was erected in the late 1920s and has had
numerous repairs to keep it in operation. The
proposed structure will be a covered timber structure with a span of
approximately 110 feet with a width from face to face of the guardrail of 28
feet. The new structure will also be relocated approximately 40 feet to the
north to improve the horizontal alignment of Camden-College Corner Road, and
thus improve the safety features of this section of roadway.
The proposed structure will also include walkways on either side of the
structure to provide a safer area for pedestrian traffic and to provide a scenic
viewing area.
