Job Description

The Major Bridges P3 Initiative is part of the PennDOT Pathways Program, which is designed to bolster PennDOT’s ongoing effort to address the state’s growing backlog of replacement and rehabilitation needs for major bridges that are approaching the end of their useful life. By allowing for the use of a P3 delivery model, PennDOT will be able to replace or rehabilitate major bridges around the state more quickly, achieve significant savings for taxpayers, and minimize the impact on the traveling public.

The initiative includes the rehabilitation or replacement of select bridges—grouped in packages—and all associated infrastructure investments associated with that specific bridge, including roadway and approach work, and improvements to nearby impacted roadways. Upon completion, it is estimated to be over $2B.

The Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors team is led jointly by FCC Construction and S&B USA Construction. The consortium members have a 20-year long track record of successful project delivery with PennDOT, having worked in all PennDOT districts.
