Heavy rains caused a creek to rise and carry debris downstream, which collided with a homeowner’s bridge foundation and caused it to wash out on one side. The ramp was also broken off of the main structure. Axcess was able to fix the damage and add long-term stability. Project requirements included:
A strong foundation was needed to withstand damage from flooding water and floating material when it rushes by. Helical piles were installed to stabilize the foundation and 4” x 4” galvanized steel post supports were used to secure the ends of the ramp.
Beneath the bridge, treated lumber was used as cross supports between the steel beams. This ensures that in the event water hits the side of the bridge, the cross beams will distribute loads from the water across the steel beams.

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.
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.
Connecting a new walking path in the Jackson Grant development, this composite deck bridge matches the custom style of the homes surrounding it.
With repairs and improved stability, a homeowner’s bridge will be able to withstand the forces of flooding water and debris for years to come.
