The reopening of Route 30 in less
than three months after the landslide
restored mobility to the region as
quickly as possible. Residents and
commuters dreaded the idea of a
yearslong closure of the highway-
the typical timeline for similar
projects. The roadway is a key travel
artery, connecting Allegheny County
Communities to the Parkway East,
which leads to downtown Pittsburgh.
It has an estimated 30,000 daily
traffic count in the area.
an unexpected absence of the targeted foundation sandstone,
the team redesigned a 75-foot section of the wall within a
few hours, lengthening the support beams by 10 feet and
specifying the replacement of existing landslide-prone soils
with granular material that would lighten the lateral forces on
this section of the wall.
"It was a very aggressive construction schedule, getting that amount
of work done in such a confined
space," says John Kovacs, executive
vice president for Gannett Fleming.
"PennDOT, Gannett Fleming and
the contractor were there around
the clock. By Mother's Day, we were
testing anchors."
On June 27, only 81 days following
the landslide and three days ahead of
schedule, Route 30 was reopened.
"If this had been a 'normal' slide,
without the emergency approval
process, it would have taken two
years to get the road reopened," says
Moon-Sirianni.
In addition to completing the entire
project scope in a short window of
time, final cost for the project was
within 1 percent of the budget.
"It was a great example of the value of a strong partnership
among the engineer, owner and contractor," says Kovacs.
"Everyone was unified and worked really well together." ■
