Presentation:
Mon-Fayette Expressway and Reconfiguring the Duquesne Classification Yard
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC)’s expansion of the Mon-Fayette Expressway meant significant changes for a railroad freight car repair shop operated by the Union Railroad Company (URR) below the Duquesne Boulevard Bridge in Duquesne, Pennsylvania. Before construction on the Mon-Fayette Expressway project could begin, the PTC needed URR to reconfigure its Classification Yard and address materials stored there. As part of the Mon-Fayette Expressway PA Route 51 to I-376 project, the PTC plans to replace and realign the existing four-lane steel deck girder bridge that carries Duquesne Boulevard (SR 837) over the URR's Yard and other railroad facilities. The existing bridge will be replaced, and realignment required that the proposed bridge be directly over the existing car shop building, so the PTC approached URR about moving the building. In addition, a portion of the URR property will be needed to facilitate construction of an on-ramp for the new expressway.
