Private Bridge Repair and Improvement
Bellbrook, OH
Bellbrook, OH
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.
BRIDGE SPAN: 30 feet

This project involved repurposing a railroad bridge with FRP decking and custom railing at the end of the bike and hike trail system in the town of Delphi, Indiana.
This bridge spans a creek that frequently floods and would block the community from being able to access most of the walking trails.
A solid surface fiberglass deck made this pedestrian bridge a safe and beautiful addition to walking trails in a new Indiana housing development.
This bridge spans a creek that frequently floods and would block the community from being able to access most of the walking trails.
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.
