Construction is proposed of a two-lane highway bridge, supported by the Markland Dam, crossing the Ohio River 531.5 river miles below Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The project will also include construction of short approach roads on each side of the river to connect the proposed bridge to existing highways. Traffic flow in the vicinity of the bridge will be facilitated and increased, with a resultant stimulus to economic growth. The project will cause the abandonment of two privately owned ferries. A small amount of land on each side of the bridge would be required for construction of approach roads. The redirected traffic will result in trade losses in some areas.
