The Westinghouse Bridge is expected to fully reopen at 4 p.m. today as contractors wind down work for the winter, PennDOT officials said.
The bridge, which carries Route 30 over Turtle Creek and the Tri-Boro Expressway between East Pittsburgh and Wilmerding, has been under construction since March as part of a $3.9 million rehabilitation project.
As of today, Robinson-based Mosites is removing the last of its equipment and construction materials from the bridge and will reopen it to two lanes of traffic in each direction, said PennDOT spokesman Jim Struzzi. Work is expected to resume in spring 2010 and will be completed in late August.
