Ohio River Bridge
Louisville, OH,
United States
The East End Bridge over the Ohio River is a cable-stay bridge that consists of two 300’ tall “portal” shaped pylons. When completed, the total length of the main span across the Ohio River will be 2500 ft, with 104 stay cables weighing in at 1000 tons, and constructed by 1200 workers, including subcontractors.
The project requires 24,000 cubic yards of structural concrete and almost 6700 tons of structural steel.

Impressions from the project process
Massive pylons formed efficiently using PERI self-climbing technology and standard components used from the VARIOKIT Engineering Construction Kit for heavy duty shoring
Two 300’ tall portal-shaped, twolegged pylons support the cable-stayed bridge
The PERI VST Heavy Duty Shoring Towers and VRB Heavy Duty Truss Girders provide support for the massive structure.
PERI UP Scaffolding provides safe access to the pylon
