Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park

Preliminary Study

CESO partnered with KPFF to deliver a preliminary analysis of the Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park pedestrian bridge structure.

LOCATION: Garrettsville, Ohio
MARKETS: Public Works


This study addressed the State’s desire for an experiential permanent bridge with a glass deck to enhance the “wow factor” for park visitors. This analysis confirmed the preferred structure location, structure type, construction material, shape, dimensions, and ancillary improvements. A preliminary environmental investigation was also performed to address any potential environmental concerns.
