The treated lumber deck on a large box truss bridge in Cuyahoga Valley National Park needed to be replaced. It had been installed fewer than 10 years ago. Axcess worked with the National Park Service to design a maintenance-free fiberglass deck that will last for 50 years or more. Because many fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) colors are available, the Park Service was able to select a color that coordinates with the existing weathered steel trusses.
DECK SIZE: 213 ft by 8 ft
DECK AREA: 1,752 square feet
DECK WEIGHT: 7 psf
A beautiful custom-designed pedestrian bridge supports the foundation’s mission of bringing educational opportunities to kids throughout the Cincinnati region.
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.
A network of urban trails expands across a local creek thanks to special co-fabricated weathering steel beams and aluminum railings.
There are few things more rewarding than how one seemingly simple idea can change everything.
This bridge spans a creek that frequently floods and would block the community from being able to access most of the walking trails.
