PITTSBURGH, Dec. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Brayman Construction Corporation of
Gibsonia was the apparent low bidder for next year's work on the Fort Pitt
Bridge and Tunnel Rehabilitation Project, said the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) today.
Construction bids were opened publicly at PennDOT's Central Office in
Harrisburg today and Brayman's $16,847,0248.48 bid was the lowest among four
contractors.
Work begins in March of 2000 with the closing of the Liberty Avenue and
Boulevard of the Allies off-ramps from the Fort Pitt Bridge into downtown
Pittsburgh. The primary detours for motorists traveling inbound on the Fort
Pitt Bridge will be the Parkway West to Grant Street, via the Grant St. Exit,
and Route 51 North to the West End Bridge to the Fort Duquesne Bridge, via the
North Shore Expressway.
Once the off-ramps are completed and opened to traffic in late June or
early July, work will begin on the inbound lanes of the Portal Bridge over
Point State Park.
The work in 2000 will be completed in time for Light-Up Night on Nov. 17.
