This is a project to remove the bridge that carries Ohl Street over the Shenango River in Greenville Borough, Mercer County.<\/p>\n
The bridge is located approximately 1,200 feet east of the intersection between Ohl Street and Route 18.<\/p>\n
Plans include the creation of a temporary causeway, removal of the bridge deck, trusses, and pier. The bridge abutments, or support walls, will remain in place. As part of the construction project, permanent protective safety barriers and signs will be installed on the east and west approaches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The existing Pratt through-truss bridge was built in 1908. It is rated in poor condition and was closed in 2009 due to deterioration. In 2025, the river under the bridge was closed to the public due to safety concerns.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bridge is owned by Mercer County.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Section 4(f) of the U.S. Department of Transportation Act of 1966 requires transportation projects take into consideration the effects the project may have on public parks and recreational lands, wildlife and waterfowl refuges, and historic sites that are eligible for or listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).\u00a0<\/p>\n
