The Rapid Bridge
Replacement Project, a public-private partnership (P3) between PennDOT and

which PWKP will finance, design, replace
and maintain the bridges for 25 years. The P3 approach allows PennDOT to
replace the bridges more quickly, while achieving significant savings and
minimizing impact on motorists.
