The Port Authority of Allegheny County (Port Authority) expects repair work on the Saw Mill Run Boulevard Bridge to be completed and the bridge reopened at the end of May.
The original cost of the repairs to the bridge was expected to top $2 million and take up to 12 weeks to complete. The repair work called for contractors to lift the 600,000-pound bridge back into position. Port Authority says crews have installed temporary supports and are readying the bridge for new anchor bolts, rail joints and bearings to be installed the week of April 11.
