Scope Of Work
This City of Columbus Recreation and Parks Department project involved the repair of a 150’-0” single span suspension bridge at Academy Park and Wolfe Park. The bridge crosses over Alum Creek. Work consisted of replacing the main suspension cables, designated floor beams, all steel hangers, repair existing steel stiffening truss/rail and other repairs as specified. The suspension bridge anchorages at both ends of the project had deteriorated to an extent that they could not be used in accordance with the plan requirements. Righter proposed a couple of potential alternatives including the new design using helical anchors to stabilize the bridge that were ultimately used in the project.
