Municipal Park Pedestrian Bridge
Learn how Axcess created a durable, lightweight solution for a pedestrian bridge in a municipal park.
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
BRIDGE WIDTH: 6 feet
BRIDGE WEIGHT: 12,000 lb

The Jackson Grant community has been working on an expansive walking path for the past several years as it continues to build homes in the development.
This bridge spans a creek that frequently floods and would block the community from being able to access most of the walking trails.
There are few things more rewarding than how one seemingly simple idea can change everything.
A solid surface fiberglass deck made this pedestrian bridge a safe and beautiful addition to walking trails in a new Indiana housing development.
