US-119 over Johns Creek, CSX Railroad, and KY 194

These sister bridges are located in Pike County, KY and are 1350’ and 1380’ long, respectively. Both are constructed of curved, steel I-girders with maximum spans of 250 feet. They begin in a circular curve, transition through a spiral, and end in a tangent section of roadway. These 6-span bridges have hollow, tapered piers (maximum of 184-foot tall) that were designed for the geometric non-linear second order effects, material non-linear response, and creep and shrinkage effects.
