Project: Jodie Bridge
This project involved the study, design and preparation of contract plans and related documents for a bridge, and approach roadway thereto, to connect Nicholas County Route 39/1 to Fayette County Route 60/3 over the Gauley River in Nicholas/Fayette Counties, West Virginia.
The bridge consists of a three ( 3 ) span composite continuous welded steel plate girder superstructure utilizing High Performance Steel with a composite cast-in-place reinforced concrete deck supported by semi-integral abutments and single column drilled shaft piers with hammerhead caps. The bridge spans a total of 468' with a clear width of 26' and is in a 29 degree horizontal curve in span 1 and a 30 degree horizontal curve in span 3.
Roadway design responsibilities consisted of the preparation of preliminary and final designs; right-of-way plans; drainage study and design including hydraulic analysis of Gauley River; and geometric layout and design for the improvement of the two lane facility over a distance of approximately 1,300' as well as 590' of side connector roads. Also, the procurement of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit was required for this project.
