The Bridge Department is responsible for the inspection and maintenance of 521 bridges on the County roadway system. By state law, each structure must be inspected annually. Bridges determined to be structurally deficient or functionally obsolete are included in the Capital Improvement Plan for rehabilitation or replacement. The Bridge Department strives to preserve historic
structures whenever possible in its mission to constantly improve the condition
of its infrastructure. To date this office has received three awards in
Recognition of Outstanding Efforts in the Rehabilitation of Historic Structures
from the Ohio Department of Transportation. In 1993 the award was received for
the Rehabilitation of the Benson
Street Bridge, a concrete rainbow arch, in 1994 for the rehabilitation of
the Kemper
Road Bridge over The Bridge Department also designs and constructs retaining structures to correct landslides, which affect the public right of way. In our effort to keep our bridges in good condition, the Bridge Department oversees the daily work of the bridge maintenance crew. The "Bridge Crew" completes routine maintenance and minor repairs in an attempt to keep the structures functioning as designed.
