Ironton-Russell Bridge Replacement Existing Ironton-Russell Bridge
Ironton-Russell Bridge Replacement Existing Ironton-Russell Bridge The Ironton-Russell Bridge is a 2,401-foot, two-lane truss structure. It was built by the Wisconsin Bridge Company for the Ironton-Russell Bridge Company and opened to traffic in 1922 as a toll bridge. In 1982, the State Bridge Commission transferred control of the bridge to ODOT. In 1999, a strain gage monitoring system was installed by the University of Cincinnati s Infrastructure Institute to calculate the level of stress on selected bridge members. In addition to annual inspections, the bridge has undergone several repair projects, as well as a rehabilitation in 2007. Under federal definitions, the bridge has been classified as structurally deficient and functionally obsolete. Although a bridge is classified as structurally deficient," it does not imply that it is unsafe.
Ironton-Russell Bridge Replacement Old to New: Inception & Design In 1999, ODOT undertook a replacement project study, which was furthered with four corridor options for the construction of a new bridge. By 2003 EIS completed Preferred alternative selected ROD issued The alignment to relocate the bridge from Second and Jefferson streets in downtown Ironton to the U.S. Route 23 viaduct, south of downtown Russell in Kentucky, was selected based on public opinion and following numerous meetings with the general public and local community leaders from both Ironton and Russell. Original cost estimate: $75-$80 million (2005) Final state s estimate: $99 million (2006) Original contract bid amount: $109 million (2006) Cost inflation at bid letting due to structure type, geometrics and materials. Bids were rejected and project was reviewed, evaluated for redesign. Redesign process began in late 2006, with consultants undertaking making changes to the structure type, working within the selected footprint and maximizing cost efficiency for construction of a new bridge.
