The work began on March 5, 2012, which has the new bridge placed between Second and Jefferson streets in Ironton and the U.S. 23 viaduct south of Russell. The current bridge is slated for demolition after the construction of the new bridge is completed. The demolition will occur between the summer and fall of 2017. The proj- ect is being funded by ODOT’s major new bridge program. In 1982, the State Bridge Commission transferred control of the bridge to ODOT. Since then, the bridge has undergone several repair projects and in-depth inspec- tions. The bridge, under federal definitions, was deemed “function- ally obsolete and structurally defi- cient” and identified for replace- ment in 1999. “The low ratings are due, in part, to the bridge’s structural integrity and the roadway deficiencies pro- viding access to the bridge,” according to the Web page for the project. “In 1991, the legal load limit was reduced to 65 percent, and currently, its General Appraisal condition rating is a 4P.

In 2006, the bridge construction was tagged at $99 million, but cost savings were realized through the redesign process in which there were changes to the size and scope of the bridge, including going from a single-tower design to the two- tower structure and the elimination of a sidewalk. “In an effort to lower the cost, the project was returned for value engineering and redesign, and by late 2006,” said Fuller, “ODOT had enlisted the services of URS Greiner, which used some of the elements from the original design by Baker & Associates, to redesign the project.” The new bridge is being built as a two-lane, three-span cable-stayed bridge with reinforced concrete edge girder superstructure on the main span.

Challenges on Project Include Environmental Concerns The main structure of the bridge will have 120 cables —

15 pairs in the Ohio back span, 30 pairs in the main span and15 pairs in the Kentucky back span. The strands are made ofsteel, and the number of strands varies in each of the cables— a minimum of 14 located in the cables nearest both tow-ers to a maximum of 35 in the cables farthest from the tow-ers on the back span sides. The cables at the mid-span con-tain 31 strands each. There is one abutment and two piers on the Kentucky

approach, two towers in the river and four piers and oneabutment on the Ohio approach.“Pier 2 on the Kentucky approach is actually located in the

river,” said Fuller. “All abutments, piers, and towers are cast-in-place, reinforced, concrete. The tallest pier is Pier 2 at 80feet, and the widest pier is Pier 1 at 60 feet. The foundationsfor Towers 3 and 4, as well as Piers 2 and 5, are cast-in-place,reinforced, concrete footings on drilled shafts. Pre-cast cof-ferdams will be used for Towers 3 and 4, and a convention-al cofferdam will be used for Pier 2.

“Wind studies were conducted by West Wind Laboratoryto determine the performance of the bridge in strong windsand to propose mitigating measures, if needed,” she said.“The bridge will have baffle plates and cable ties; however,other features (TMDs) were found not to be needed with theredesigned structure given its weight from the concrete andtwo-tower construction.” The project also has environmental concerns that need to

be dealt with, particularly wildlife. The main concern was forthe peregrine falcons that nest on the existing bridge, alongwith the need to protect Ohio River mussels, Indiana Batsand Running Buffalo Clover. “We worked with the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Fish and

Wildlife, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, ArmyCorps of Engineers and other agencies to mitigate andresolve such matters during the design process and prior toconstruction,” said Fuller.Having the existing bridge in place helps to minimize the

impact on local traffic and Fuller said that “traffic impacts tomotorists should be minimal as most work is being conduct-ed off the roadways.” First Street and Campbell Avenue indowntown Ironton are subject to temporary closure andintermittent restrictions for the Ohio approach constructionand in Russell, heavy equipment and crews are mobilizedalong U.S. 23 and the viaduct at the Kentucky approach.Brayman crews have been busy, and following the

Christmas break, they completed the Ohio Tower, Tower 4,which culminated with the last segment (Segment 18) cast inJanuary 2016. After casting the final segment the Peri form

system was removed and work began installing ladders andplatforms inside the tower. In addition to this and theKentucky Tower, the Ohio back span, the Kentucky backspan and the Kentucky cantilever have been completed. Andsince moving the form traveler from the Kentucky cantileverto the Ohio side in February, the contractors have begun con-struction of the cantilevered main span there. The main center span 900 ft. is supported by two CIP, 316-

ft. (96 m) tall, diamond shaped towers, founded on largediameter drilled shafts with rock sockets. When completed,it will be the longest main span that ODOT has built.Brayman crews have been prevailing over a variety of

challenges since the start of the project.“While we can’t speak specifically for the contractor,”

said Brian Davidson, assistant resident engineer of FIGGbridge inspection, ODOT’s construction consultant on theproject, “we can say that working on a navigable waterwaysuch as the Ohio River is challenging. In addition to safetyconcerns for the crews, there is high risk with the threat offlooding and valuable equipment on barges. It also requiresconsiderable coordination with the stakeholders who use andmanage the river.“According to the last project update,” he said, “the bridge

Equipment in use on the project includes:

• Cranes, Manitowoc — a 888 and a 222;Grove — a RT-500C hydraulic crane and a stan-dard hydraulic crane; Terex CC700

• JLG man lifts — two 1200SJPs and one 800SJP; • IT 38H front end loaders• Cat skid steer• Cat 315 trackhoe• Cat rubber track excavator• ChemGrout grout pump• Skid-mounted Colladial grout pumps• Mack-Putzmeister concrete pump truck• One Razorback pneumatic screed• Air compressors — two Ingersoll-Rand P185s

and two SullAir 375Hs• Welders/generators — Lincoln Electric

machines, two Wacker Neuson G70 generatorsand one MR Power 180 generator

• One Goodwin hydraulic pump• Various ground heaters • Five Magnum light plants• Variety of Ford trucks

Built in 1922 to link Ironton, Ohio, and Russell, Ky., theIronton-Lawrence Bridge spanning the Ohio Riverlevee, six rail lines and city streets is being replaced bythe Ohio Department of Transportation via an $81.4million contract that was awarded to the BraymanConstruction Corporation.

OAIMA Receives Public Outreach Award From IMCC The Interstate Mining Compact

Commission (IMCC) recentlyannounced the recipients of its2016 annual minerals educationawards. Founded in 1999, theminerals education awards are pre-sented each year in two categories:the mining awareness educator cat-egory, presented to a teacher orschool from one of the 25 memberstates of the IMCC, and the publicoutreach category. This year, twoawards will be presented in thepublic outreach category. No edu-cator awareness award winner waschosen for 2016.The public outreach award is

presented to an industry, environ-mental, citizen or other group, or toa state government body, that hasachieved excellence in one or moreof the following categories: pro-vided educational outreach in aninnovative manner that increasesthe level of understanding in thecommunity about mining and itsimpacts; promoted awareness ofenvironmental stewardship associ-ated with mining through activeinvolvement of citizens; fosteredcooperation and partnerships withdiverse groups to achieve under-standing; enhanced the under-standing of issues associated withmining and natural resource devel-opment; and/or fostered publiceducation through mine tours, visi-tor centers, community awarenessdays, career days, personnel volun-teerism in the schools, maintainingadopt-a-school programs or educa-tion partnerships, or any otherinnovative initiative deemeddeserving by the awards commit-tee.The minerals education awards

will be presented at a banquet heldin conjunction with the IMCCAnnual Meeting, April 17 to 20 inLake Placid, N.Y.The first winner in the public

outreach category for 2016 is theOhio Aggregates & IndustrialMinerals Association (OAIMA)located in Gahanna, Ohio.The Ohio Aggregates &

Industrial Minerals Associationhas developed an innovative andmulti -faceted minerals educationprogram that promotes awarenessof the need for aggregate, rock andmineral resources. In 2012, OAIMA embarked on

a partnership with the MiamiCounty (Ohio) Park District.

Initially, the project provided bookbags and educational rock box kitsto children in area schools as areward for completing the “FamilyQuest Nature Program,” and later,OAIMA helped to develop andparticipated in the park district’sannual week-long “Hug the Earth”program. For one week in Mayeach year, children from localschool districts arrive by bus inintervals throughout the day andeach class rotates between offeredactivities. Often children whoattend with their schools during theweek choose to return with parentsand families to participate in theactivities again during the Saturday

“Family Day” held at the end ofthe week-long program.With guidance from the

OAIMA Public RelationsCommittee and endorsement of theAssociation’s Board of Directors,the new “Hug the Earth” educationprogram was developed to be bothinformative and entertaining forparticipants. OAIMA supports andfunds the efforts and providesmaterials and member volunteerswho freely donate their time. Newand innovative activities are usedto engage children in the learningprocess while having fun. The“Rock and Mineral Dig” activityinvolves creating several piles of

natural sand in which rocks andminerals mined in Ohio are inter-spersed. Children are given buck-ets and shovels and given an allot-ted amount of time to “mine” forrocks and minerals. With the helpof OAIMA and park district volun-teers, the children use an identifica-tion panel developed by OAIMAto identify the rocks and mineralsthey collected and learn how theyare used in their daily lives. Thechildren are allowed to keep thebuckets and the minerals they col-lect.OAIMA also collaborates with

Wright State University’s depart-ments of earth and environmental

sciences and teacher education onproject STONE (Science Teachingfor Ohio’s New Economy), anationally recognized award win-ning professional developmentprogram. Teachers of grades K to12 attend a summer two-weekworkshop where they learn how toinfuse earth science content intotheir inquiry science lessons andother curriculum; what careeropportunities are available for stu-dents in the fast growing field ofearth science; how to connect withprofessional earth science practi-tioners for classroom resources,career days and field experiencesfor teachers and their students; andhow to develop, assess and reporton an inquiry-based activity theteachers develop for their class-room during the academic year. “The members of the Ohio

Aggregates & Industrial MineralsAssociation are extremely hon-ored to be recognized by the IMCCfor our education and outreachactivities. The members of theOAIMA are passionate about edu-cation and it is important to contin-ue these efforts in order to maintainour vital operations. The averagecitizen is generally unaware ofwhere the materials come fromthat build the roads, schools,homes and products that we usedaily. Outreach programs likethose for which the OAIMA hasbeen recognized, are a critical ele-ment in maintaining and strength-ening our industries workforce andproviding jobs and materials forfuture generations. We are proudand grateful for the dedication,time and materials that our mem-bers unselfishly give in order tocontinue these important educa-tional efforts,” said PatrickJacomet, OAIMA executive direc-tor. A 2016 Public Outreach Award

also will be presented to MichaelC. Korb. Korb serves as environ-mental program manager in theWilkes-Barre office of thePennsylvania Department ofEnvironmental Protection’sBureau of Abandoned MineReclamation. For more information, visit

is 80 percent complete toward the timeline. With regards tothe upcoming construction season, we anticipate completingthe Ohio cantilever, the closure pour of the main span, andthe micro-silica modified concrete overlay.”On a project like this, according to Davidson, “communi-

cation with the contractor is of the upmost importance.Communicating and being proactive in resolving issues isthe only way a project of this size can be completed success-fully.”Utility relocations were dealt with early on this project.“At the beginning of the project in 2012,” said Dave

Bame, ODOT’s area field engineer on the project, “an 84-in.jack and bore under three Norfolk Southern railroad lineswas completed in order to relocate storm drains. Some smallwater line utility locations were also completed at that time.”

The new bridge is being constructed in a new location;however, removal of materials will be from demolition of theexisting Ironton-Russell Bridge in which its steel structureand concrete piers will be removed. The amount of materialsthat will be recovered from the operation is still being deter-mined.Materials to be used in the construction include: 18,500

cu. yds. (14,144 cu m) of structural concrete, 4.7 million lbs.(2.1 million kg) of reinforcing steel, 167,000 lbs. (75,749 kg)of post-tensioning strand, 69,500 lbs. (31,524 kg) of post-tensioning bar, 31,000 linear ft. (9,448 m) of HDPE pipe forcable stays, and more than 500,000 lbs. (226,796 m) of sevenwire cable stay strand.Crews are working eight to 10-hour shifts during daytime

hours, and are working on some Saturdays.“Typically,” said Davidson, “we have 25 to 30 carpenters,

ironworkers, operators, laborers and electricians, all fromlocal union halls, working on this project each day.”The main subcontractors on the project are: J&B Steel

Erectors for reinforcing steel, Boone Coleman for theapproach embankment and West End Electric forconduit/electric installation.
