SR 0079 A61 Neville PROJECT SUMMARY Island Bridge Preservation MPMS 87756 Cost and Schedule: Estimated Construction Cost • $60M Anticipated Construction Duration • The let date for the project is 12-12-19. Physical construction is likely to begin with containment erection in March/April 2020. The project should be complete in the fall of 2022. 2021 – Fall 2022 • Project includes 27-span structure over RR Tracks, Ohio River Backchannel, Ohio River Main Channel and SR 0065 Ohio River Boulevard and the smaller 4-span structure to the north over Kilbuck Street • Project Purpose: To maintain safe and reliable travel on this portion of I-79 • Project Need: Due to the physical deficiencies of the existing bridges causing Fair to Poor Condition ratings. Major Construction Activities: • Bridge Concrete Substructure Repairs • Bridge Expansion Dam Replacements • (including work on Neville Island) • Bridge Deck Repairs and Overlays • Bridge Repainting – All Steel Members • Bridge Structure Steel Repairs • Drainage Repairs • Bridge Bearing Replacements • Bridge Barrier Repairs Due to the site constraints of the project location and geometry, as well as most of the work occurring on limited access ramps to the interstate, bicycle traffic cannot be maintained on the highway shoulder. A bicycle detour route will be signed using the Sewickley Bridge
