Work on Latrobe parking garage underway
Latrobe’s parking garage will be getting improvements to its overhangs and ramps for people with disabilities over the next two weeks.
Public works director Scott Wajdic described the rehab work as “cosmetic rather than structural.”
The faces of the overhangs will be chipped off and repoured, and a protective layer will be added to them.
The city is also adding ramps near the garage’s elevator.
The work began on Tuesday and is expected to be completed in two weeks, Wajdic said.
During the rehab work, drivers should use Spring Street to enter and leave the garage. The Weldon Street entrance/exit will be closed.
Recent updates to the garage began in 2019, when the city announced plans to update expansion joint sealant and rusted handrails, renew waterproofing on the upper deck, repair concrete that is peeling or flaking, and pressure-wash the structure.
