The City of Westerville Engineer’s Office selected Carpenter Marty Transportation to provide engineering design services for this project which involved the removal of an at grade midblock trail crossing on the Ohio to Erie Trail and construction of a 106’ single span steel truss multi-use bridge over County Line Road. The project provided a safe crossing for users while staying within a small project footprint in order to avoid impacts to right-of-way. Additional construction consisted of two trail ramps and 850’ of trail realignment. The project included 450’ of battered retaining walls, 24’ tall wall abutments supported on mat foundations, drainage analysis, storm sewer design, utility relocation, and aesthetic design. We worked closely with the prefabricated truss supplier to incorporate various requests from the client including installing lighting conduit within the steel tubes and attachments for future vandal protection fencing. Carpenter Marty assisted in the successful application of an ODNR COTF grant, which was awarded to the project in the amount of $500,000.
