Allegheny County Bridge to be Replaced in 2017 as Part of Public-Private Partnership
Construction for the Route 136 (Rainbow Run Road) bridge, spanning over a tributary to the Monongahela River in Forward Township, has been postponed, slated to start in 2017.
It was previously scheduled to begin this fall as part of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT) Rapid Bridge Replacement Project.
A release with full details on the new construction timeline will be distributed prior to the start of construction in 2017.
The Rapid Bridge Replacement Project is a public-private partnership (P3) between PennDOT and Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners (PWKP), under which PWKP will finance, design, replace and maintain the bridges for 25 years. The P3 approach will allow PennDOT to replace the bridges more quickly while achieving significant savings and minimizing impact on motorists.
