Bridgeville is eyeing repairs for another landslide in the borough.

The borough is advertising for a landslide repair project on Bower Hill Road, at the end of Bluff Street Extension and behind 799 Bower Hill Road, Manager Joe Kauer said.

The landslide is affecting only one property, Kauer said.

He expects repair work to begin later this summer and be completed by fall. He did not have a cost estimate of the project. No road closures are expected.

“In (comparison) to the two recent landslides the borough fixed on Werner Avenue and Union Street, this slide is small,” Kauer said.

Earlier this year, Bridgeville closed Werner Avenue, between Chartiers and James streets, for crews to repair multiple landslides along the side of the road.

That project, which has been completed, included utility relocation, building a retaining wall, new guardrail and fencing, storm sewer improvements and roadway paving.

It was funded by a $500,000 Gaming Economic Development Tourism Fund grant that state Sen. Devlin Robinson, R-Bridgeville, helped to secure. The remaining $382,000 was paid from the borough’s federal appropriation of the American Rescue Plan.
