Lane Avenue Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge at Ohio State University, United States
Lane Avenue Bridge is a cable-stayed structure crossing the Olentangy River at Ohio State University, carrying vehicle traffic and pedestrians across the waterway. The bridge links different campus areas and serves thousands of daily users from the university community.
Construction took place between 2002 and 2003 to replace an older three-lane arch structure from 1919 that had deteriorated over decades. This replacement allowed the university to handle growing campus traffic demands with a modern design.
The bridge connects different sections of the Ohio State University campus, facilitating movement for thousands of students and faculty members daily.
The crossing provides safe passage for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic with clearly marked lanes for each. During peak hours the bridge can get quite busy, so allow extra time when planning a crossing.
The bridge's cable anchorages, weighing 47 tons each, stand as the heaviest single pieces of steel ever subjected to galvanization processes.
