Purpose & Explanation
The City's Veterans Trail Plan includes a 10' wide trail planned along Prospect Street connecting future trails on Hines Hill Road to Morse Road (see Exhibit A).
As a portion of this future trail crosses the Ohio Turnpike, staff approached the Ohio Turnpike & Infrastructure Commission (OTIC) regarding widening of the bridge along the west side of Prospect Street. OTIC has agreed to include the widening of the bridge as part of their scheduled maintenance repairs on the bridge, as long as the City pays for the design and construction costs associated with the bridge widening portion of the project.
To identify the costs of the bridge widening, OTIC hired a professional bridge design consultant to evaluate the bridge and identify the estimated costs.

The estimated cost for the design of the bridge widening is estimated at $148,427, the construction cost is estimated at $1,541,000, and the construction administration & inspection costs are estimated at 15% of the construction costs for an amount of $231,150.
