Point Marion Bridge enters last weekend…

Point Marion Bridge will be imploded on Monday, weather permitting.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transport (PennDOT) has scheduled the demolition of the old Point Marion Bridge for between 7 am and noon Monday. Explosives will be used to drop the 79-year-old closed bridge into the Monongahela River.

During the process, a mandatory 800-foot safety zone wii surround the demolition area, requiring the closure of the new bridge next to the old span and its pedestrian walkway and surrounding roadway.
