Jeremiah Morrow Bridge, Interstate bridge in Oregonia, United States.
The Jeremiah Morrow Bridge is a pair of concrete box girder structures carrying Interstate 71 across the Little Miami River gorge in Ohio. The twin spans sit high above the valley floor, with each bridge built to handle heavy traffic flow.
The original Warren truss bridges from 1965 were replaced due to structural safety concerns following the I-35W bridge collapse. The new construction was completed between 2010 and 2016 with updated engineering standards.
The bridge honors Jeremiah Morrow, an early governor of Ohio known for supporting state infrastructure development. His name represents this important crossing that connects communities across the gorge.
The bridge carries heavy daily traffic with two marked lanes on each structure, and sight lines are clear for the entire crossing. Plan for typical interstate travel conditions when using this route.
The construction required enormous quantities of materials including millions of pounds of reinforcing steel and post-tensioning strands threaded throughout the structure. This technique distributes the weight of heavy traffic across the entire span.
