Brief traffic stoppages will occur Wednesday on the Tarentum Bridge as crews perform work there, PennDOT announced Monday.
Stoppages of 15 minutes or less will happen as needed in each direction between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
During the stoppages, crews will perform jacking operations on the bridge, requiring traffic be stopped between Caldwell Avenue in New Kensington and East Sixth Avenue in Tarentum.
A PennDOT spokeswoman said that when crews perform jacking operations, they are slightly lifting the bridge. When sections of the bridge are lifted, they are removing and replacing the old anchoring system — the pedestals that the bridge beams sit on.
