Parking Garage Closed:

Concerns over the condition of New Kensington’s downtown parking garage have prompted the city to close it.
The city hired a structural engineer to assess the condition of the Kensington Plaza Garage on Fourth Avenue at Seventh Street.
Dedicated in December 1979, the garage has seen usage fall sharply since the nearby Citizens General Hospital closed in 2000. City Clerk Dennis Scarpiniti estimated that less than 20% of the garage has recently been in use; he did not know its capacity.
Ed Patton, owner of Patton Engineering, said his analysis found high levels of salt in the garage’s concrete, which he said corrodes the structural steel embedded in the concrete. The steel expands as it corrodes, cracking the concrete.
Because of that, the garage should not be used, Patton said.
“The garage is structurally sound. It is not in any state of collapse or concern for collapse,” he said. “It’s just a matter of the garage has not been maintained for many, many decades and these are the things that come up.”
