Clermont County Shor Park
This bridge spans a creek that frequently floods and would block the community from being able to access most of the walking trails.
Greene County, OH
In 2012, flooding and erosion forced the Greene County Parks to replace a wooden bridge that connects Rotary Park, Philips Park, and the Beavercreek Wetlands Preserve. The Park Service contracted Axcess to design a permanent solution for this location that would not need to be replaced in the future. Project requirements included:
To meet these requirements, Axcess designed a weathering steel truss bridge with a solid surface fiberglass deck. The design work included raising the bridge’s elevation so it sat above the flood plain, improving access and reducing water damage. This maintenance-free solution saves on upkeep costs for the Park Service and will last for years to come.
BRIDGE SPAN: 45 feet

A network of urban trails expands across a local creek thanks to special co-fabricated weathering steel beams and aluminum railings.
See how a local park district in Ohio used a truss bridge and solid surface fiberglass decking to replace a deteriorated wooden bridge.
Montgomery Park is an urban park in a northeast suburb of Cincinnati. The existing bridge was in desperate need of replacement based on the deterioration of the wood.
The first of multiple projects that Axcess and Clermont County Parks have been able to work together on installing.
