ALL-High Street Kohli & Kaliher designed and inspected this $915,000 bridge replacement project for the Allen County Engineer. An existing three span filled concrete arch over the Ottawa River within the City of Lima was replaced with a three-span (48’-48’-48’ c/c bearings) composite prestressed concrete box beam superstructure bridge supported on reinforced concrete wall abutments and piers founded in bedrock. In order to construct the new bridge, 315 feet of 20” diameter waterline had to be relocated. The construction of this project was completed in the summer of 2002.

SEN-C.R. 33-3.66 Kohli & Kaliher inspected this $2,407,000 bridge replacement project for the Seneca County Engineer. The proposed bridge was a four-span prestressed concrete I-Beam superstructure (71'-135'-135'-120' c/c bearings) with a composite concrete deck on hammerhead-type piers each supported on one 72" diameter drilled shaft and reinforced concrete abutments supported on piling.  This bridge was constructed over new tangent alignment and involved extensive coordination with ODNR, as it was located over the Sandusky State Scenic River.  Construction was completed in the fall of 2006.

PAU-C.R. 138-7.25 Kohli & Kaliher designed and inspected this $1,775,000 bridge replacement and roadway re-alignment project for the Paulding County Engineer. An existing four span warren truss over the Auglaize River was replaced with a five span (90’ c/c bearings each span) non-composite prestressed concrete box beam superstructure bridge supported on capped pile abutments and drilled shaft cap and column piers. The total project length of 1650 feet (including the bridge) incorporated a new horizontal alignment that eliminated two sharp curves at each bridge approach. The construction of this project was opened to traffic in the fall of 2004, with finishing work completed in the summer of 2005.
