Maintenance work set for North Irwin Bridge; Irwin re-elects council president
Maintenance work set for North Irwin Bridge
The bridge connecting North Irwin with the Sheridan Terrace section of North Huntingdon is one of several bridges in Westmoreland County set to have a new coat of epoxy placed on the deck and to have the joint seals replaced, PennDOT said.
The work is to be completed between April and October 2022. During the project, motorists will be able to use the bridge that goes over Paintertown Road.
PennDOT has 22 bridges in Westmoreland County that are scheduled to have similar maintenance work.
The state has not yet awarded contracts for the project.
