The City of Pittsburgh, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), is advancing the Maple Avenue Bridge Replacement Project. The project is currently in the Preliminary Engineering Phase.

Built in 1929 and rehabilitated in 1953, the bridge is located west of the Swindell Bridge in the Perry South neighborhood. The scope of work for the project is to replace the bridge's superstructure (beams and deck) while raising the vertical clearance over North Charles Street, repair the retaining walls, replace the sidewalks, and refurbish the ornamental railings. On Maple Avenue, new crash-worthy barriers will be added along the curblines of the structure.

On February 11, 2026, the Department of Mobility & Infrastructure (DOMI) alongside the project partners and consultants will hold a public meeting to share information on the Maple Avenue Bridge Replacement Project. This meeting will also be an opportunity for neighbors and community members to ask questions and provide feedback for our teams.

The project materials presented at this meeting will be available on this page for your viewing and to download. If you have a comment to make in regard to the presented project materials, please submit your comment in the box on the right-hand side of this page. The design team will compile the comments made during the public meeting and those submitted on this page to be reviewed and considered as they progress the project design.
