About Brown Road Bridge
Constructed in 1915 by the Bellefontaine Bridge and Steel Company, the riveted Pratt through truss replaced an earlier span that was washed out in a 1913 flood. 1
In early 2010, the county engineering office studied options for rehabilitation or replacement of the Brown Road Bridge because of its poor structural condition. 1 It was decided to construct a new bridge at the cost of $2.3 million, with work beginning in mid-2011. The federal-local bridge program funded up to 95% of the estimated $1.5 million in construction and engineering costs, with the remainder coming from Delaware County road and bridge funds.
