Bill > SB786

This bill designates a bridge on Pennsylvania Route 381 over Meadow Run in Ohiopyle, Fayette County, as the Paul T. Sucevic Memorial Bridge in honor of a distinguished civil engineer who made significant contributions to infrastructure design. The bill provides a detailed biography of Paul T. Sucevic, highlighting his educational background from Saint Vincent College and Carnegie Institute of Technology, his professional career in bridge design, and his founding of SPK Engineering, Inc. in 1981. It specifically recognizes Sucevic's expertise in designing the bridge in question in 1996, which featured a complex three-span arrangement with dual-column arched support structures and prestressed concrete I-beams. The bill emphasizes Sucevic's professional achievements, including multiple engineering awards, his mentorship of aspiring civil engineers, and his commitment to quality and innovation in infrastructure design. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is required to erect and maintain signs identifying the bridge by its new memorial name, with the designation taking effect 60 days after the bill's passage, serving as a lasting tribute to Sucevic's professional legacy and contributions to Pennsylvania's transportation infrastructure.
