As part of the Ohio Department of Transportation District 9’s Planning Department, the district’s environmental office is seeking public input for a bridge replacement on S.R. 72 in Highland County.
It is proposed to replace the structure on S.R. 72 at the 2.26 mile mark in Highland County. The project is located in a rural area of Fairfield Township.
The existing structure is a three-sided steel arch with reinforced concrete footings. The new structure will be a concrete box culvert with full height headwalls.
The project area will require approximately 0.273 acres of permanent right-of-way. The permanent right-of-way is located along the stream channel, agriculture fields and forested hillside.
