While a sidewalk on the New Kensington bridge will be closed for the next four months, a shuttle service for pedestrians will be made available.  The Trib reports that the sidewalk will close Monday at 7 AM and will remain closed until mid-November to allow crews to work on painting the bridge, install fencing and repair the sidewalk.  Elite Coach Transportation will provide a temporary shuttle while the sidewalk is closed. It will operate from 7 to 11 a.m. and 2 to 6 p.m. every day at Route 56 and Second Avenue and Freeport Road and the bridge.The $24.59 million New Kensington Bridge preservation project began in March 2023 and is expected to be finished later this year.
