Mon/Fayette Expressway bridge, Phase II finished
The last major piece of construction of the Uniontown-to-Brownsville section of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission’s Mon/Fayette Expressway has been completed and the road is expected to open in late July.
Contractors poured the last of the concrete needed to complete the $96-million, 3,000-foot-long and 200 feet high expressway bridge between Brownsville and Centerville on Wednesday night, said turnpike commission spokesman Tom Fox.
The highway will open to traffic after the remaining bridge work, which includes applying protective coatings to the concrete and installing the median and guard rails, is completed, he said.
