Punch-list items are just about all that remain to be completed in the effort to rehabilitate Pittsburgh's Liberty Bridge, according to the Pennsylvania Dept. of Transportation. The three-year project was hampered in September 2016 by a fire that shutdown the bridge for 24 days.
Crews will continue to seal sidewalks and fix a damaged pedestrian railing through January. On Aug. 14, a driver hit the railing on the Boulevard of the Allies, which feeds into the bridge and is included in the project's scope. PennDOT says it will seek reimbursement for the $30,000 railing from the driver.
