December Luncheon Meeting
Topic: Temporary Pre-Engineered Structures Featuring the Railroad Bridge over Alkire Road in
Southwest Franklin County
(Online registration and payment available, see bottom of page.)
This presentation will touch upon the process of erecting pre-engineered bridges. Among several other national and international projects, the temporary railroad bridge over Alkire Road in southwest Columbus at Harrisburg Pike (US 62-SR3) will be featured. The 1902 railroad stone arch bridge over Alkire Road was replaced due to increased traffic, narrowness, and vertical and horizontal clearance issues. The bridge replacement construction had to be performed with limited railroad track use outages during so called “Railroad Holidays” or slow scheduled train movement time periods. Any outages beyond these “Railroad Holidays” resulted in fees to the project for the added mileage for train detours. With limited work space to build the new structure, the temporary pre-engineered railroad bridge considerably reduced the inconvenience to railroad and Alkire Road vehicle traffic and avoided any fees due to track outages.
