📋 Tender Overview
SCOPE
the project will involve raising three bridges by amounts ranging from 17 inches to 2 feet, 9 inches, while the roadbed will be lowered by about 18 inches under another bridge. A fifth bridge will be replaced at its current level, and the railroad will replace a pedestrian bridge that had previously been removed while donating $1.4 to two civic groups on the city’s North Side.
The route will give the railroad a second option for double-stack trains through Pittsburgh, along with a route that follows the south side of the Monongahela River.
The railroad hopes to have all four of the clearance projects under way by 2024 but will first hold community meetings about the work.
