Phase: Construction
Location: Westmoreland County
Anticipated cost: $1.35-$1.65 million
Single-lane restrictions will be in place in both directions on I-70, between Exit 43 (Route 201 Fayette City) and Exit 41 (Route 906 Belle Vernon/Monessen), overnight from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM beginning Monday, May 4. These restrictions are anticipated to continue through the end of July while crews will remove the existing pedestrian bridge and prepare to reconstruct the new bridge.
The proposed project will construct a reliable crossing for pedestrians over I-70 to provide safe and efficient access across the interstate to serve local residents and maintain connectivity. Activities consist of replacing the existing Thru Truss pedestrian bridge over I-70 between Ross Street and Carson Street including ADA facilities and updating the drainage. In addition, the pedestrian traffic will be detoured during construction. View detailed design plans here.
