Description
http://www.marionstar.com/story/news/local/2015/08/07/new-br...The $3.2 million project, the county’s largest bridge project to date, is being built by RG Zachrich Construction of Defiance. Deputy county engineer Phil Wright said 95 percent of the funding is coming from the federal government, with the balance coming from a road fund generated from gas taxes.
Marion’s covered bridge design has a mix of features from three new bridges in Union County, and has a basic structure similar to the Mill Creek Bridge near Ostrander in Delaware County, with asphalt paving over a wooded deck and glue laminated wooden supports, tongue and groove cider shingle side panels and a steel roof design to look like shakes. Steel rods laced throughout the structure maintains the tension of the sides, which will afford open views to the river.
