A bridge with a history of low clearance incidents is set to be replaced this Spring. PennDot opened a virtual plans display for the Maple Drive Bridge (Route 2027) spanning over Interstate 70 in Speers. The current structure has a height of just 14.3 feet from the highway, and the new bridge will be set at 16.5 feet to help taller vehicles pass below. Improvements will also be made to the interchange with the interstate. During construction, a single lane of traffic will be maintained southbound on the bridge, with detours in place for northbound traffic, utilizing both I-70 and the Charleroi Exit. There will be some nighttime interstate closures and a full weekend closure of Maple Drive during the project, which is set to start in April and last until mid-November of this year. Plans are displayed on the PennDot District 12 website until Monday, February 21st.
