Segmental block retaining wall in time-lapse - Video
A section of Interstate 70 where a retaining wall collapsed at the base of a bridge last month will continue to be restricted to one-lane travel in each direction for some time, PennDOT officials said.
Officials said they need more time to assess what occurred and come up with a solution for that portion of highway in Rostraver.
We are continuing to work on a corrective plan, agency spokeswoman Valerie Petersen said.
There is no time estimate, she added.
Workers for Beech Construction of Carnegie were working on the bridge when the retaining wall came free on Oct. 14, resulting in a shutdown of the interstate, PennDOT officials said.
The next morning, travel was restored, with a single lane open in each direction on the eastbound side of the bridge between exits 44 and 43. That restriction remains in place.
Motorists near the lane changes this week said they hope the stretch can return to normal soon, but they understand the work can take time.
If that's what it's takes, then that's how long it's going to take, said Scott McClintock of Rostraver. I wish it wouldn't take too long.
Rick Stoioff of Donora said he felt the same way about Route 22 when work there lasted several years.
It was such a relief when it was done, Stoioff said. Everybody can't wait until it's done. I guess it's the price you pay for prosperity.

Sir Russell Coutts
Helen Schlichting, who owns a single-level holiday bach next to the multimillion-dollar luxury house that is under construction in Tindalls Bay, said the 2m high retaining wall would partly block her view of the ocean and the towering two-storey home would intrude on her privacy.
Ms Schlichting, of Browns Bay, said she had no problems with the international sailing icon but rather how Auckland Council had administered the resource consent process for his sprawling beachfront home.
She was unhappy at not being consulted, and with the consent stating that any effects on her and her property "have been disregarded".
"I do feel very disrespected by the attitude of the council resource consent officer ...
the neighbour, myself, she was disregarding is specifically named on the resource consent so they obviously realised that there would be a negative impact on us," she said.
"If I had been aware earlier of the extent and the height of the retaining wall and filling, there would have been the opportunity to discuss some details of their plans that impact my property."
A soil filling of 1000 cubic metres was being used where the 2m retaining wall was being constructed; adding a 1.1m balustrade would bring the total height to 3.1m.
"[It goes] right on our eastern boundary and right forward into our beachfront view area," she said.
The three-level 667sq m house, with five bedrooms, six bathrooms, three living areas, tennis and basketball courts and retaining wall, got resource consent last year.

The bigger the project is, the more youll have to consider your walls ability to hold back soil and rock that is piled up behind it.

Retaining walls are common in the Lower Mainland when it comes to containing gardens and lawns, in large part, because of our regions rolling geography and sometimes-steep grades of land.
The downside of sitting on top of a hill is that it sometimes leaves you with nothing more than a significant drop-off when you step out the door.
Probably the most popular reason to build a retaining wall is to increase usable yard space, and to add to the overall landscape design of your yard.
Terraced hills with retaining walls and leveling out yard areas that allows enjoyment for kids and guests.
Retaining walls can be substantial undertakings and youll want to consider hiring a contractor or landscaper experienced in building retaining walls to do this major job for you.
Plan ahead before starting your project. The bigger the project is, the more youll have to consider your walls ability to hold back soil and rock that is piled up behind it.
That means solidifying and fortifying foundations, making sure youre using proper building materials and procedures, and acquiring the proper building permits from city hall.
But we dont all live in mansions and smaller retaining walls are typically used in landscaping to create some depth and perspective in gardens and landscaping.
