Clinton Street Bridge over the Maumee River
ODOT Project DEF-15-14.77December 2, 2014
Stakeholder’s Meeting
Discuss the project and why it’s happening Describe the process that’s used to
determine what gets built Share factors that will influence the
proposed design Identify stakeholder concerns Obtain stakeholder input
Purpose of Stakeholder Meeting
Address deteriorated condition of existing bridge Existing bridge is safe, but has some things that
need addressed as part of this project Existing bridge deck (what traffic travels on) and
superstructure (what supports the deck) have deteriorated
Existing abutments (ends of the bridge) and piers (middle sections of the bridge) support the superstructure and have also deteriorated to varying degrees
Project Purpose
Existing Bridge Deck – North End
Cracked asphalt is porous. Deicing chemicals leak through to whatever is below it.
Existing Bridge Deck – South End
Holes in asphalt at south end of bridge.
Underside of Existing Bridge Superstructure
(at curb line)Note concrete cracking. This is caused by reinforcing steel and prestressing strands that are corroding.
Underside of Existing
Superstructure (End Span, South
End)Eventually the concrete breaks away completely, exposing the corroded strands, which can then fail and break away themselves.
Underside of Existing
Superstructure (Mid Span)
Another failed strand towards the middle of the bridge
Underside of Existing Bridge Superstructure
(End Span – North End)
Concrete has cracked and broken away at other bridge locations as well. Cause for this cracking? Same as other areas on bridge - reinforcing steel and strands that are corroding.
South Abutment Note deteriorated concrete. Caused by deicing chemical leakage from bridge deck.
Existing PierNote concrete deterioration
at sidewalk curb line.
Was originally built in 1932 Six spans, total length approximately 489 feet
Rehabilitated in 1980 New superstructure Existing piers and abutments remained and
were repaired 48 feet face to face of curb (4-12 ft. lanes) 5 ft. 6 in. sidewalks
Existing Bridge
Includes the bridge and the next two intersections north and south of bridge Clinton Street intersections with High Street,
River Drive, Fort Street and First Street Engineering and environmental studies are
performed within the study area Larger than the actual project work limits
Why? Actual project work limits have not yet been determined.
Study Area
Study Area(Yellow Outline)
Circle K Gas Station Former gas tanks along Clinton Street Pontiac and Fort Defiance Parks Maumee River and mussels Several structures over 50 years old (none eligible
for the National Register of Historic Places) One archaeological site (southwest corner;
destroyed according to State Historic Preservation Office)
Environmental Concerns on the Project
Engineering and environmental studies are conducted to help determine feasible alternatives and pros/cons associated with them.
Alternative evaluation concludes with a Feasibility Study, which identifies a Preferred Alternative
Feasibility Study to be submitted to ODOT later this month
Alternatives Evaluation
New four lane bridge on existing piers (similar to existing bridge)
New five lane bridge on existing piers Allows southbound left turn from Clinton Street
to River Drive. New four (or five) lane bridge on new piers All alternatives have wider bridge sidewalks
and dedicated bike lanes on bridge.
DEF-15-14.77 Alternatives
Bridge Concept Actual appearance to be
determined later in design process
Construction cost Traffic safety/congestion Maintenance of traffic during construction Environmental impacts Adjacent property impacts (public and private) Utility impacts Future maintenance costs Inspection of existing bridge piers in November 2014
will determine if their reuse is feasible and cost-effective
Factors Affecting Alternative Evaluation
Actual appearance of new bridge is determined in the next phase of design.
City preference is current bridge lighting Existing pier reuse will affect aesthetics Stakeholder and public comments will be
considered when deciding how the new bridge will look.
Bridge Aesthetics(How bridge will look)
Existing Bridge Lighting
Detrimental effects of traffic detours are understood.
Goal is to maintain at least local traffic during construction.
Local traffic – a trip that begins or ends in Defiance
How well the alternatives studied meet this goal will be part of the Feasibility Study.
Maintaining Traffic During Construction
Improve access to be consistent with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines
Improve pedestrian safety on bridge Current standards call for 8’- 0” minimum
sidewalk width in commercial areas Incorporate bicycle accommodations into
project design Proposing 5’- 0” dedicated bike lanes on bridge
adjacent to each sidewalk
Other Project Goals
Existing Sidewalk and Curb Ramp – Southwest Corner
Existing Sidewalk – Southeast
Corner
Existing Bridge – Not much room
for bikes
Construction in 2019 (preliminary estimate) Depends on funding, environmental
concerns, right-of-way acquisition, and completion of construction plans
Project schedule updates will be provided as changes in the schedule are known.
Current Project Schedule
Funding will be secured when Preferred Alternative is known.
ODOT has several funding options. Funds used will be suited to the type of
project being constructed. Right-of-way acquisition anticipated to begin
in 2016 or 2017.
Project Funding
This meeting is the first in the public involvement process
Additional stakeholder meetings will be held Public involvement meetings to be held as
well Comments, concerns, or any information you
can provide are appreciated!
