The Major Bridges P3 Initiative is part of the PennDOT Pathways Program, which is designed to bolster PennDOT’s ongoing effort to address the state’s growing backlog of replacement and rehabilitation needs for major bridges that are approaching the end of their useful life. By allowing for the use of a P3 delivery model, PennDOT will be able to replace or rehabilitate major bridges around the state more quickly, achieve significant savings for taxpayers, and minimize the impact on the traveling public.

The initiative includes the rehabilitation or replacement of select bridges—grouped in packages—and all associated infrastructure investments associated with that specific bridge, including roadway and approach work, and improvements to nearby impacted roadways.

The Bridging Pennsylvania Constructors team is led jointly by S&B USA Construction and FCC. The consortium members have a 20-year long track record of successful project delivery with PennDOT, having worked in all PennDOT districts.

Primary Project upon Commencement:

The purpose of the Pennsylvania Major Bridges Project is to deliver infrastructure improvements focusing on the rehabilitation and replacement of nine major bridges (and associated roadways) across the Commonwealth. It was awarded to a consortium led by SBC in April 2022 and, upon completion, it is estimated to be over $2B.

The project is being delivered under a Pre-Development Agreement (PDA) that guarantees early involvement and increased collaboration between the Owner (PennDOT), the Developer (JV: MacQuarie Capital and S&B Concessions) and the Design Builder ( JV: S&B Construction and FCC). The PDA phase will be delivered starting in April 2022 and will last until December 2026.

The first package of 6 bridges will be ready for Financial Close in December 2022 and it is anticipated that detailed design will immediately follow, with an expected construction start in December 2023.
