Nearly two years after a fire closed Pittsburgh's Liberty Bridge for 24 days in September 2016, the approximately $81-million rehabilitation project is almost complete—and only about a month over schedule.
While contractor Joseph B. Fay Co. made up lost time caused by the fire, the project originally slated to be finished on July 30 is now set to be completed on Aug. 26. The Pennsylvania Dept. of Transportation recently gave Fay more time to deliver the project after the agency asked the contractor to install extra items that weren't part of the project's initial scope.
