Project Description :

 

The major portion of the project is the bridge over the North Fork Kentucky River.  A three span structure was used with spans of 135.5', 200' and 135.5'.  The framing consists of steel plate girders with a composite concrete deck.  Three girders were used spaced at 9'-3" to support the 27 foot wide deck.  The girder web depth is 78 inches.  The substructure consists of pile end bents and two 45 foot tall piers founded directly on rock.  Cofferdams were required at both piers.  Plans were completed in 1996 and a letting is scheduled for early 1997.  The estimated cost of the bridge is $950,000.00.
