Project Description: The Cloverport Bypass is a new route around Cloverport, Kentucky that eliminated bottleneck conditions. Clover Creek is near the Ohio River and serves as a reservoir for water backed up by the Cannelton Dam. The bypass crosses Clover Creek at a skew of 26 degrees. The distance from edge of water to edge of water at pool stage is approximately 280 feet. A 475 foot long bridge was selected to satisfy drainage requirements. A four span bridge with spans of 117.5', 120', 120', 117.5' was used. The superstructure consisted of Type 4 modified prestressed concrete I-beams and a composite concrete deck. The I-beams are 66 inches deep. The substructure consisted of three open column piers and pile bent abutments. All substructure units are supported on piles. Two of the piers are located in the water and require cofferdams and concrete tremie seals. Plans were completed in 1990 and construction is presently underway with completion scheduled for 1993. The cost of the bridge was $2,044,738.
