PITTSBURGH – The Department of Public Works announced today that it will seek public input online from September 10-24 for an upcoming project to replace Big Sewickley Creek Bridge No. 7, which carries Spang Road near Warrendale Bayne Road in Marshall Township.

The project will involve removal of the existing bridge; construction of a new, wider bridge; approach roadway work, drainage improvements; stream grading, guide rail upgrades; and new signs and pavement markings.
