GREENVILLE, Pa. - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced plans for a bridge removal project in Greenville.

The bridge that carries Ohl Street over the Shenango River in Greenville is slated to be removed.

The bridge is located approximately 1,200 feet east of the intersection of Ohl Street and Route 18. The bridge itself has been closed since 2009, and the water trail near it was closed in August of 2025.

The project calls for the creation of a temporary causeway and the removal of the bridge deck, trusses and pier. The bridge's support walls will remain in place. Permanent protective safety barriers and signs will be installed on the east and west approaches.

The removal of the bridge and pier will return the site to an open channel section of the river, having a bank-to-bank width of about 100.

A contract for the work is scheduled to be awarded sometime in 2026.
