Point Design Group teamed with Marucci & Gaffney for a design-build project to replace a deficient steel truss bridge over Camp Creek and a concrete dam in Garresttsville, Portage County, Ohio.
This new, 87-foot long, Liberty Street Bridge is a galvanized steel beam structure featuring semi-integral abutments on drilled shafts, which were selected to minimize impacts to the existing dam. A water line is carried on the bridge as well as a sidewalk and pedestrian railing. Additional storm sewers were constructed as part of the project to improve drainage.

Point Design Group was contracted by St. Clair Township in Westmoreland County to provide engineering design and construction period services on three roadway widening and surfacing projects within the Township.
The 14-foot wide bridge reconnects the Ohio & Erie Canal towpath at a location where an aqueduct once transported canal boats over the river. The reemergence of the towpath as a recreational corridor was the driving force in providing this safe passage along this section of the towpath.
Point Design Group identified alternatives that not only improved the pavement conditions, drainage, and lighting on the Akron-Canton Airport entrance road and parking areas but also reduced congestion in front of the terminal and simplified ingress and egress.
This project marks Ohio’s first “Contraflow” bike lane and Stark County’s first dedicated bike lane. Point Design Group received three awards for this Canton, Ohio project, in 2014.
Point Design Group team was hired by the Stark Park District to complete the planning and design for this bridge over IR-77 that reconnects the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath between Fort Laurens in Bolivar and the Village of Zoar.
Point Design Group teamed with H.R. Gray of Akron, Ohio, for this new $9.9 million Downtown Transformation Design-Build Project.
