Public Vetting Of PennDOT Bridge Tolling Proposals Continues
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is hosting virtual and in-person events over the next several weeks to inform the public and gather comment about three of its Major Bridge P3 Program candidate projects: the I-83 John Harris Memorial (South) Bridge, the I-78 Lenhartsville Bridge, and I-80 Canoe Creek bridges. PennDOT will be scheduling both online and in-person events for other bridge projects in November.
CBS News Pittsburgh reports, the sponsor of an online petition opposed to PennDOT tolling of the I-79 interchange and bridges project claims area residents can’t afford to pay for use of the highway segment and PennDOT targeted the project “because they knew they could make a lot of money off of it.” PennDOT spokesperson Alexis Campbell explains, yet again, that the candidate bridges need expensive repairs or complete replacement and tolling is a way to pay for the work without diverting funds from other essential projects.

Wisconsin Examiner reports, Wisconsin DOT is looking for someone to acquire and relocate two historic, steel truss bridges deemed functionally obsolete and due to be replaced by a new $34.5-million WIS 130 crossing. WisDOT is offering the rural Richland County bridges free of charge to someone willing to preserve their structural integrity, and it will provide funds to assist with the removal. “The deadline for those interested to request ownership materials has been extended from Oct. 31 to Nov. 30. To request an information package, please email Sue Barker at Susan.Barker@mbakerintl.com or call (608) 821-8712.”
