    Project Type: Bridge Replacement
    MPMS Number: 57973
    Proposed Construction Season: 2026
    Last Updated: 09/15/2025

    This is project to replace the bridge that carries Little Cooley Road over Little Federal Run in Athens Township, Crawford County.

    The bridge is located on Little Cooley Road (Route 1037) between the intersection with Dobbs Road and the intersection with Athens Road

    The project will include replacing the existing structure with a new concrete bridge. Work will also include minor paving on each end of the bridge and improvements to the roadway shoulder.

    The existing concrete single-span, T-beam bridge was built in 1940. It is rated in poor condition. Approximately 300 vehicles a day use the bridge, on average. 

    Work is expected to occur during the 2026 construction season.
