Built in the 1980s, the county’s light rail vehicle maintenance facility needed a complete rehabilitation. Work pits and other sections used to maintain the rail fleet were severely corroded and in a state of disrepair.
The Pennsylvania Dept. of Transportation announced Friday afternoon that Pittsburgh’s fire-damaged Liberty Bridge will remain closed indefinitely as crews continue to repair 30 feet of a compression chord on a deck truss that was damaged in a Sept. 2 blaze. PennDOT, which hoped to finish the work by Monday, did not specify when the work would be done.
