Bridge in Monongahela Twp. to be replaced

The state Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting from 4 to 5:30 p.m. May 23 at the Monongahela Township Building, 128 Maple Ridge Road, Greensboro, to discuss the replacement of a bridge on Mapletown Road spanning Whiteley Creek in the township.
The construction is part of PennDOT’s Rapid Bridge Replacement Project, a public-private partnership between PennDOT and Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners.
The meeting will showcase construction plans for replacement of bridge JV-512, one out of 558 bridges being replaced under the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project.
A letter announcing the start of construction will be mailed out two weeks in advance to all project stakeholders, and people attending the meeting can sign up as a project stakeholder.
The work is through the P3 partnership in which Plenary Walsh will finance, design, replace and maintain the bridges for 25 years. The P3 approach allows PennDOT to replace the bridges more quickly, while achieving significant savings and minimizing impacts on motorists.
