The Ohio Department of Transportation’s District 7, Sidney, is seeking input on proposed repairs and maintenance to three Champaign County bridges to address ongoing deterioration. The proposed spring-summer 2022 project will require detours of state routes 245 and 560. The project includes:

– The 1977 bridge that carries state Route 29 over a branch of Mosquito Creek in Adams Township: replace deteriorated deck slab edge and bridge rail; reface abutments with anodes; encase pier columns.

– The 1961 bridge that carries state Route 245 over an unnamed tributary of Graves Creek in Harrison Township: replace deck overlay; reface abutments with anodes and rebuild wingwall; replace/refresh dump rock along abutments; remove instream debris and address scour; encase pier columns.

– The 1958 bridge that carries state Route 560 over Anderson Creek in Concord Township; replace deck overlay; replace deteriorated deck slab edges and bridge rail; reface abutments with anodes and rebuild wingwall; replace/refresh dump rock along abutments; remove instream debris and address scour; encase pier columns.
