December Dinner Meeting
Topic: Replacement of the Jeremiah Morrow Bridge
Joint Meeting Between ACI and ASCE
(Online registration and payment available, see bottom of page.)
The Jeremiah Morrow bridge carrying I-71 over the Little Miami River near Lebanon is being replaced with an all-concrete, segmental, cast-in-place bridge using the balanced cantilever method with form travelers. The Jeremiah Morrow (named after Ohio’s ninth Governor) is the highest bridge in Ohio (240’) and one of the longest at 2,230’. The existing, twin steel deck trusses were built in 1964/65 at a cost of $5 million. The existing bridges are being replaced in two phases. The first of two concrete segmental bridges is currently being constructed in the median between the existing bridges. The existing bridges are very narrow (only 30’ wide); the new bridges will each be 55’ wide with provisions for 3 lanes of traffic in each direction. The new bridges will cost $88.1 million. HNTB Cleveland is the designer and Kokosing Construction is the contractor.
