The Elizabeth Street Bridge spans over the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks and is the only grade separated structure for the citizens of the Klondike neighborhood to access the rest of East Liverpool. It was determined that the existing bridge was in critical condition and should be closed to traffic due to significant deterioration of the middle span over the railroad. The new bridge allows for a safer passage for trains and provides pedestrians and vehicular access to the community that will accommodate the present and future design year traffic and growth.
TranSystems provided structural and engineering design services for the replacement of the Elizabeth Street Bridge. Early in the design, TranSystems provided a suggested demolition scheme that incorporated the location of shoring, temporary towers, and track outage durations necessary. TranSystems’ right-of-way acquisition team was able to assist early in the design to facilitate the right-of-way process by identifying potential issues.
