Manchin Announces $985k To Replace The Purgitsville Bridge

Charleston, WV – Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV), member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced $985,320 from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to replace the Purgitsville Bridge in Purgitsville, West Virginia. Orthotropic Steel Deck (OSD) technology will be used to replace and modernize the bridge to ensure it is able to avoid deterioration and safety concerns.

“This bridge has transported generations of West Virginians safely to their destinations and I could not be more pleased the DOT is investing more than $985K to make long-needed repairs to it,” said Senator Manchin. “With this federal investment, we are making sure West Virginians can continue to get where they need to go, effectively and efficiently. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue advocating for resources to bolster our transportation infrastructure across the Mountain State.”
