Traffic patterns on the Mansfield Bridge will be switched Monday night (Sept. 8), and the new patterns will be in effect for approximately two weeks, a county spokeswoman said.
The Mansfield Bridge is being reconstructed as part of a $34 million project being done in conjunction with the state Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. Work is being performed by the Joseph B. Fay Company of Tarentum.
The next phase of construction will have cars traveling from Glassport and McKeesport to Dravosburg using the newly constructed side of the bridge. Traffic on either side of the bridge will be restricted to one lane.
The temporary traffic signal which was installed in March 2012 on the Glassport side of the river will be removed and traffic coming onto the bridge from Glassport to Dravosburg will be controlled through a stop sign.
Traffic traveling onto the bridge from McKeesport to Dravosburg and traffic going to McKeesport and Glassport will have the right-of-way.
