This Certificate of Recognition is awarded to the Allegheny County Department of Public Works for earning the 2015 Outstanding Highway Engineering Award from the American Society of Highway Engineers (ASHE). Project Manager Jeanna Fisher led the team whose preservation project on Chartiers Creek Bridge No. 6, which carries Carothers Avenue/Third Street over Chartiers Creek between Scott Township and Carnegie Borough, won the award for projects under $5 million. The bridge was built in 1927 and is the longest Warren truss in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The structure has been determined to be eligible for inclusion into the National Register of Historic Places. The rehabilitation included repairing the steel, replacing sidewalks, repairing the deck, repainting the bridge and new lighting. The work is tied to the Tri-Community Revitalization Project, a multi-municipal project involving Carnegie, Scott and Heidelberg. Funding for the $1.6 million project came from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Agency and was completed by the Swank Construction Company of New Kensington on budget and ahead of schedule. We congratulate the Allegheny County Department of Public Works for earning the 2015 Outstanding Highway Engineering Award from the American Society of Highway Engineers, and we thank the public works staff for working hard every day to create a sustainable county for future generations.
