Bridge Design
Got a low point that you can’t cross? Let the engineers at Choice One provide you a bridge to success! (Ok, we’re done with the puns now…) Whether it’s for a public roadway or recreational trail/bike path, our team of experts can take you from a napkin sketch to construction plans with ease.
Bridge Prequalifications:
ODOT – Level 1.1/1.2 Bridge Design
Our Bridge Design Types Include:
Concrete Slab Bridge:
- Bridge decks constructed of reinforced concrete poured on-site.
- Single, double, triple spans
Prestressed Concrete Box Beam Bridges:
- Built for public/private roadways and driveways to handle all legal traffic loads.
- Single, double, triple spans
Bikeway/Pedestrian Bridges:
- Built for use by pedestrians and/or bicycles, typically incorporated in bike paths, trails, or in parks.
Box Culverts:
- Four-sided, precast, concrete structure with headwall and wingwalls.
- Installed perpendicular or skewed.
Three-Sided Culverts:
- Flat top or arch, precast, concrete structure with headwall and wingwalls.
- Installed perpendicular or skewed.
Low Flow Crossings:
- Built for low flow stream crossing applications (residential driveways, park entrances, etc.).
Additional Bridge Services:
Bridge Hydraulic and Scour Analysis:
- Determination of how much water can flow through the bridge opening as well as the impacts fast moving water has on the surrounding embankment at the bridge.
Structure Type Study:
- Determining the best structure alternative for a water crossing based on surrounding impact, constructability, hydraulic analysis, and cost.
FEMA Floodplain Analysis and Permitting:
- Create a computer-generated model establishing the current flood elevation of an existing water crossing.
- Re-run the computer-generated model with additional fill from a proposed structure to verify its floodplain impacts.
- Prepare a report with the model results illustrating the impacts of a proposed structure and which alternative is the best choice.
Army Corps. of Engineers Permitting:
- Preparation and submittal of the Army Corps. of Engineers application forms for the project that impact ACOE recognized navigable waters.
“One of Choice One’s most noteworthy qualities is their willingness to stand behind their work, admit mistakes, and perform with upright honesty. Furthermore, they are experienced when it comes to working with contractors, know the ins and outs of the construction process, and have excellent rapport with regulatory agencies such as ODOT and the Ohio EPA.”

Union Church Road Bridge Replacement
Brown Township, Miami County, Ohio
The existing single-span structure over Trotters Creek, rehabilitated in 1957, consisted of steel beams, wood deck, and asphalt wearing surface superstructure followed by a dual system substructure comprised of four primary steel bearing piles and secondary stone/concrete abutments. The existing stone/concrete abutments were built on a 22.5 degree left-front skew and supported a 23-foot wide and 43-foot-long bridge deck. The replacement structure was a single span, prestressed concrete box beam bridge on capped pile abutments with seven 62-foot beams creating a 28-feet wide bridge. The abutments were designed on an 8-degree left-front skew. The structure received new bridge railing as well as bridge terminal and anchor assemblies. Outside the bridge, minor roadway widening and grading work was performed to tie into existing site conditions.
