Construction on Charles Anderson Bridge in Oakland to begin
The bridge has been closed since February 2023
About 20 months after Pittsburgh closed the Charles Anderson Memorial Bridge in Oakland — and just days after the closure of another Oakland bridge — a major portion of the rehabilitation project is scheduled to begin soon.
City officials closed the historic overpass in February 2023, citing safety concerns and inspection reports that said the bridge needed repairs.
At the time, officials had estimated that those repairs would take about four months to be completed, but further inspections showed the need for more repairs than initially anticipated.
