The McKeesport-Duquesne Bridge is a nine span, two lane bridge carrying Route 2114 over Route 8057 Ramp B, Route 8057 Northbound Bypass, Norfolk Southern Railroad, Great Allegheny Passage Trail, Union Railroad, the Monongahela River, and CSX Railroad. The scope of work is a bridge preservation project including full paint, concrete repairs to barrier/sidewalk/substructure units, bearing replacements and maintenance, steel member repairs, deck joint replacements, approach slab and approach barrier/pavement replacement, impact attenuator replacement, sign structure replacement, protective fence replacement, replacement of existing luminaires with LED luminaires mounted to existing mast arms, replacement of navigation lights and placards, curb ramp installation, drainage repairs, sidewalk/barrier/gutterline cleaning and sealing, epoxy resin protective coating of concrete substructure units, replacement of DLC conduit and service vault cages under the eastern bridge sidewalk, installation of wayfinding signs for the Three Rivers Water Trail, and a latex modified concrete deck overlay, as well as other miscellaneous construction.
Additional Project Information
The majority of construction is anticipated to occur while two lanes of traffic are maintained across the bridge (one in each direction), but full closures will be needed to complete certain operations. Currently, several 5 to 10-day closures are anticipated in 2026 and 2027, followed by an approximate 2.5-month closure in 2028. Detour/closure timeframes and durations are subject to change based on the contractor's schedule, means, and methods.
A public meeting is anticipated in construction, once the contractor refines the schedule based on their selected means and methods.
Environmental Features
The McKeesport-Duquesne Bridge, Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad, Union Railroad, and B&O Railroad are all either listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires Federal Agencies to take into account the effects of projects on historic and archaeological resources. This meeting provides an opportunity for the public to provide feedback on the historical significance of the resources.
