PennDOT to Display Plans for Superstructure Replacement on Route 760 Bridge

| February 14, 2017

penndotHERMITAGE, Pa. (EYT) – The state Department of Transportation invites the public to view a display of plans to replace the superstructure of the bridge on Route 760 over Bobby Run in the City of Hermitage, Mercer County.

The bridge is located on Route 760, approximately ¾ of a mile west of the intersection with Route 18.

Construction will include replacing the superstructure of the existing 19-foot, 8-inch I-Beam bridge with a prestressed plank beam bridge. Work will also include adding a waterproof membrane and updated guiderails.

Plans for the superstructure replacement project will be on display March 6-17 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, Monday through Friday at the Hermitage Municipal Building.

Construction is expected to occur in 2018.

No detours are anticipated. One lane of traffic will be maintained at all times.

The existing bridge was built in 1950 and is classified as structurally deficient. Approximately 6,596 vehicles a day use the bridge, on average.

The purpose of the display is to introduce the project and to receive public input regarding any questions or concerns with the project.

The display is set up to also receive any public input regarding historic or archaeological sites in the area, that could be affected by the project, as required by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (cultural resources).
