Bridge Rating ReportsAll I-71 bridges are regularly inspected by ODOT in accordance with Section ORC 5501.47,and with the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 650.307. These state and federalrequirements provide for regular and systematic inspection of bridges on, under, or overpublic highways and streets in the interest of public safety and protection of the publicinvestment in such structures.These requirements establish the areas of responsibility of various authorities regardinginventory requirements, frequency of inspection, qualifications of inspectors, and recordingof inspections. ODOT has provided bridge inspection reports for the I-71 bridge structuresbetween Liberty Street and Dana Avenue. The bridges are generally steel rolled beams orplate girders on reinforced concrete substructures. Most bridges are supported on steelH pile foundations.The mainline bridges carrying I-71 over Eden Park Drive, Florence Avenue, and ReadingRoad are scheduled to have the steel superstructure repainted in the next 4 years. Thegeneral appraisal bridge ratings for the study area are provided in Table 8. The generalappraisal ratings are an overall indicator of the bridge’s condition on a scale from 1 to10 with10 being best.<strong>Uptown</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Study</strong> 28URS CorporationNovember 2006

SignageA comprehensive review of existing signage and wayfinding has been undertaken for theentire Part A study area.<strong>Uptown</strong> is bounded on the west by I-75 and the east by I-71. Both interstates serveprimarily as north-south transportation corridors with several partial-access interchangesserving <strong>Uptown</strong>. Additionally, I-74, which terminates at I-75 and Central Parkway at thewestern edge of <strong>Uptown</strong>, provides a transportation corridor to Western Hamilton County.Terminating at I-71 south of <strong>Uptown</strong>, I-471 provides the primary access to <strong>Uptown</strong> fromCampbell County and Eastern Hamilton County.Currently, there is no directional signage on either I-74 or I-471 for <strong>Uptown</strong> or specific<strong>Uptown</strong> destinations. Advance information should be provided to motorists so they can plantheir route. For example, the Zoo would prefer that motorists coming in from the West, on<strong>Uptown</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Study</strong> 29URS CorporationNovember 2006
