Rich Street Bridge, Road bridge in Columbus, United States.
The Rich Street Bridge features a modern open-spandrel arch design spanning 568 feet across the Scioto River with five spans and three vehicle traffic lanes.
Built in 2012 to replace the deteriorating Town Street Bridge from 1917, this structure was constructed using advanced precast concrete segments that reduced construction time by seven months.
The bridge connects downtown Columbus with the historic Franklinton neighborhood and serves as part of the Scioto Mile waterfront redevelopment project promoting community engagement.
Located on US Route 62 and Ohio State Route 3, the bridge accommodates daily commuter traffic while featuring wide sidewalks and pedestrian-friendly gathering plazas.
This bridge incorporates 52 precast concrete segments installed using temporary support towers, creating a continuous five-span frame without joints that minimizes maintenance requirements.
