Today’s demolition of the Point Marion Bridge has been postponed for safety reasons.
The structure — known as the Albert Gallatin Memorial Bridge — carries Route 88 across the Monongahela River between Fayette and Greene counties.
“The crew was double-checking, going over everything this weekend,” said Valerie Petersen, a PennDOT spokeswoman. “They wanted to err on the side of safety and decided to move some of the extra weight off the deck before the implosion.”
November 16 has been tentatively set as the new date for the demolition, dependent on the weather and other factors.
