Plans, construction schedules and other details of three bridge replacement projects slated this year in Unity and Mt. Pleasant townships will be unveiled Thursday during a public meeting from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Mt. Pleasant Township Building, 208 Poker Road.
There will be no formal presentation. Attendees will be able to speak with representatives from PennDOT and Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners (PWKP) — the private group that is financing, designing and constructing new versions of structurally deficient bridges on behalf of PennDOT and will maintain them for 25 years as part of the state's Rapid Bridge Replacement Project.
According to PWKP spokesman Jeff Rossi, work could start March 3 on replacing a bridge over Ninemile Run on Route 982, just north of Macey Road in Unity.
Work on the structures in Mt. Pleasant Township will occur simultaneously, tentatively beginning June 16. Scheduled for replacement are a bridge spanning Sewickley Creek on Mt. Pleasant Road and a culvert that crosses Brinker Run on Brinkerton Road.
The Brinkerton Road construction zone will be closed to traffic for about five weeks, with a posted detour. Rossi said the two other bridges will remain open for one lane of traffic, regulated by temporary signals.
