Traffic will be reduced on Glenwood Bridge in Pittsburgh until November

Commuting for some 17,497 motorists from the Monongahela Valley to Downtown Pittsburgh will get more complicated Monday when the Glenwood Bridge is reduced to one lane in each direction.

Allegheny County, which owns the bridge, said the restriction will begin at 6 p.m. Monday so crews can replace 11 expansion dams and do other work on the 2,276-foot bridge. The bridge carries Route 885 over the Monongahela River between Pittsburgh’s Hays and Hazelwood neighborhoods and becomes Second Avenue as it heads into the Golden Triangle.

Alternatives to using the Glenwood Bridge include getting on the Parkway East in Swissvale or Squirrel Hill or following East Carson Street on the city’s South Side to the Smithfield Street Bridge.

The work is part of a $4.9 million bridge preservation project by Mosites Construction Co. Mosites started the project last March with steel, deck, sidewalk, drainage, and approach pavement repairs; painting; concrete cleaning and sealing; and scour and erosion remediation.

In addition to the expansion dams, this year’s work includes barrier replacement and pier repairs. The project is scheduled to be finished in November.
