Clermont County and Axcess have worked together on multiple bridges in their park districts, and this bridge at Wilson Nature Preserve was the first to be installed. This bridge is located about half of a mile down the trail and crosses over a runoff to the East Fork Little Miami River. The bridge solution is one of the most common and budget friendly options that Axcess provides.
The bridge foundations use helical piles that weathering steel beams bolt to directly. Treated wood planks are attached to the steel beams and an aluminum railing install completes the bridge. This solution requires little maintenance over the life span of the bridge, and anything that needs to be replaced can be done in little time without needing to close the trail.
BRIDGE SPAN: 23 feet
BRIDGE WIDTH: 8 feet

Fiberglass decking is more durable than treated lumber and is maintenance free. See how we used it for a bridge deck at a national park. a national park.
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.
