It will be at least 16 months until PennDOT's Rapid Bridge Replacement project has an effect on local bridges - five in Blair County - under a timeline and

bridge list released by PennDOT officials.

PennDOT officials announced late last year that Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners was awarded an $899 million contract to replace 558 Pennsylvania bridges, including 48 in District 9 - Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Fulton, Huntingdon and Somerset counties.

Through a Rapid Bridge Replacement project, Plenary Walsh and 11 Pennsylvania-based subcontractors - including Glenn O. Hawbaker Inc., a State College company - are scheduled to complete all 558 bridge replacements by 2017.

PennDOT spokeswoman Erin Waters-Trasatt said construction at 58 bridge sites in southwestern and northeastern Pennsylvania is slated to begin this summer.

She said these bridges were selected first because they have low traffic volumes and are similar in design.

"The team has come up with a schedule that they thought would be most efficient," Waters-Trasatt said, adding that bridges can range in size from eight to more than 360 feet.

Waters-Trasatt said similar bridges in location and size were grouped to increase productivity.

Some bridge parts likely will be created offsite to speed up the process, she said.

Ralph DeStefano, District 9 bridge engineer, said all 48 district bridges were classified as structurally deficient - meaning they ranked poorly during bridge inspections and are in need of improvement.

The WESTEST 2 no longer will be administered to West Virginia school students beginning this school year, but the West Virginia Department of Education has yet to announced what standardized testing assessment will replace it.

According to Ohio County School officials, the announcement of the new format is to be announced in early March, while the tests are scheduled to go before students shortly after in mid-April.

During a special meeting of the Board of Education on Thursday, Superintendent Dianna Vargo said the district's teachers are teaching content standards in line with West Virginia's new core standards, and it is assumed the new test will assess those standards.

Photo by Joselyn King Ohio County Schools administrators and staff are among those attending a special meeting of the Ohio County Board of Education convened Thursday night to discuss WESTEST 2 scores.

Educators across the state typically begin preparing students for standardized testing when school starts in the fall, though this year there were no standards available to which they could refer.

They do know it will be a computerized test, and technology coordinators are concerned because new testing and software will have to be installed in their school district's computers.

Educators also know their schools will receive a letter grade of "A" through "E" based on their overall performance on the new test.

Gone will be the more arbitrary designations rating the schools a "success," "focus" or "transition" school not easily understood by the general public - or even those in education.

Members of the Ohio County Board of Education admitted last month their own confusion regarding the word designations when the 2014 WESTEST 2 scores bumped down three of the schools in the district.

Thursday's meeting was intended to help board members understand the drop.

School Officials Await WESTEST 2 Replacement

Asked whether Salah and Schurrle will definitely be Chelsea players when the transfer window shuts, Mourinho replied: I cannot say that. The window is open, but what I can say is I like them, I need them and I trust them. I cannot select the same 18 players every game, I only can play 11. Salah is not playing a lot, Schurrle more than him.

I don't know if a deal is to happen. If my club tells me we have a certain offer for a certain player we think is a good movement for us, because we work in the rules of Financial Fair Play.sometimes we have needs, like we had in the past transfer windows where we sold some players.

The club doesn't move. We don't move. Our desire is to keep the same squad, which reflects that we are happy with the players, that we are happy with the work we did in the summer to prepare the season and reflects the trust we have in the group. If possible, we don't want to be involved in the transfer window. If we have to be, it's because somebody pushed us with some offer for our player.

The question is to have a phenomenal offer and a player to be super keen of accept a new challenge in his career. We don't want to sell our players.

Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado has emerged as Chelseas top target to replace either Salah or Schurrle, with Shakhtar Donetsk star Douglas Costa another option.

If one player moves, then we will bring somebody in, yes, said Mourinho. Cuadrado is a player from Fiorentina. I shouldn't make any comments about players from other clubs. You speak about Cuadrado, you can speak about 10, 20, 30 players. I am in trouble if I dont know the player because my son does. It's my job to know them all.

Did you know Telegraph Sport has a Chelsea Facebook page?

Two bridges over Little Muncy Creek and another over White Deer Hole Creek will be replaced this year under the state's new Rapid Bridge Replacement Project.

Another seven bridges in Lycoming County are up for replacement in 2016 and 2017.

Last year, a law was signed to fund road projects, repairs and public transit in the state, which has resulted in the creation of the $899 million statewide project, set to begin this summer.

According to the state, 558 bridges across the state will be replaced in the next three years.

"Pennsylvania has the most structurally deficient bridges in the country. That's why it's so important we take advantage of the additional resources we're getting from Act 89," Richard Kirkpatrick, PennDOT spokesman, said.

There are 25,000 state-maintained bridges in the state, and about 4,000 are considered structurally deficient, according to Kirkpatrick. He also said that of the 558 bridges being replaced, 553 are structurally deficient and 133 are posted with weight limits to help extend their life.

Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners and its team of 11 Pennsylvania-based subcontractors, one of which is Williamsport's Larson Design Group, will lead the project, according to Kirkpatrick.

The other subcontractors are A.D. Marble and Co., of Conshohocken, Montgomery County; M.A. Beech Corp., of Carnegie, Allegheny County; Carmen Paliotta Contracting, of South Park Township, Allegheny County; Clearwater Construction Inc., of Mercer, Mercer County; Francis J. Palo Inc., of Clarion, Clarion County; Glenn O. Hawbaker Inc., of State College, Centre County; J.D. Eckman Inc. of Atglen, Chester County; J.F. Shea Construction Inc. of Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland County; Swank Construction Co., of New Kensington, Westmoreland County; and TRC Engineers Inc., of Export, Westmoreland County.

"It may be the case that more subcontractors can be hired as the process moves forward," Kirkpatrick said when asked about opportunities for other local companies to participate in the project.
