Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, through the Office of Policy & Public Private Partnerships, has announced an Industry Forum on Wednesday November 6, 2013 for its Rapid Bridge Replacement P3 Project.

The project would involve design, construction, finance and operation (lifecycle maintenance) of the bridges.

The Commonwealth is taking advantage of the new P3 tool that Governor Corbett signed into law in 2012 to begin a new initiative to address the state's nearly 4,500 Structurally Deficient (SD) bridges. With the P3 approach, the state can replace hundreds of these bridges more quickly; save money; and minimize the impact on the traveling public.

Depending on how much funding is available, 200 to 1,000 bridges could be bundled together as part of the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project. The final number of bridges to be replaced depends on the level of transportation funding provided by the General Assembly.

See Industry Forum flyer for more information.
