NWS Briefing Package #1 AUG 31 2016 5PM

Please click here to acknowledge receipt of this message

This is a message from ReadyChesco.


Emergency Management Partners and Stakeholders:

Hurricane Gaston and Tropical Depression Eight are churning in the Atlantic Basin and are expected to maintain a moderate to high risk for rip current formation into Friday along the coast, but no impacts are expected to Chester County from these two systems

A third system, Tropical Storm Hermine, may move north and effect the mid-Atlantic region this weekend. An inland path would mean rain while an offshore path could result in stronger winds, storm surge and a yet another round of enhanced rip current risks. In either case, chances for a nice, sunny Labor Day weekend are becoming less with each model run.

Chester County Forecasted Impacts:
• Heavy rain: Moderate Confidence.
o There is a risk for heavy rain over much of the mid-Atlantic area. However, specific rainfall amounts are highly dependent on the eventual track of the storm. Recent dry weather will lessen the severity of any stream and river flooding that may develop. Street flooding and flash flooding is a greater threat.
• Strong Winds: Low Confidence.
o There is a chance for tropical storm force winds (39 MPH to 73 MPH) this Labor Day weekend as TS Hermine, or its remnants, move north. The strongest winds should occur Saturday and Sunday, An inland path would result in lower winds.
• Timing
o Strong winds and heavy rain is most likely Saturday and Sunday, with showers possibly lingering into Monday

Active Watches & Warnings:
• Chester County is not currently under any active Watches or Warnings

DES Actions:
• We will continue to monitor this event and provide additional information as it becomes available.
• The Watch Officer is available through the 9-1-1 Operations Center by calling 610-344-5100.
• At this time the EOC is not expected to be activated for this event.

The next briefing package is expected to be issued no later than 5PM Thursday September 1, 2016. We will distribute the package as soon as we have had an opportunity to analyze the impacts for Chester County and DES actions.

Thank you,

Chester County Watch Officer

New License Plates Help Fund Bicycle Safety Efforts

New License Plates Help Fund Bicycle Safety Efforts

8/31/2016-HARRISBURG

The new "Share the Road" special fund registration plate designed to help
fund
bicycle safety is now in stock and being shipped to interested vehicle
owners,
PennDOT announced today.

The new plates were authorized by Act 36, referred to as the David (Dave)
Bachman Act, which was enacted in June in memory of a PennDOT employee who
served as the Department's first Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator. All
proceeds
from the sale of the new plate fund PennDOT's bicycle and pedestrian safety

efforts, as well as highway infrastructure signage for bicyclists with the
purpose of wayfinding and/or safety.

The "Share the Road" plate uses the same colors as standard plates -- blue,

white and yellow, with addition of an image of the shared lane marking
including two chevrons, a bicycle silhouette and the words "Allow 4 Feet to

Pass." The bottom of the plate reads "Share the Road."

Applicants may order a plate by completing Form MV-917, "Application for
Share
the Road Registration Plate." The cost of the plate is $40. This plate
may
also be personalized for a fee of $100 in addition to the $40 plate cost.

Customers may also place an order for this plate or learn more about a wide

variety of license plates, including other special fund registration
plates, by
visiting our website at www.dmv.pa.gov and looking under the Vehicle
Services
tab, then clicking on Registration Plates under the drop-down menu.

The plates normally take two to four weeks for delivery. For personalized
plates, allow eight to 10 weeks for delivery.

Walnut Lane Roundabout at Park Line Road to Close for Reconstruction in Philadelphia

Walnut Lane Roundabout at Park Line Road to Close for Reconstruction in
Philadelphia

8/25/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Walnut Lane will be closed and detoured at Park Line Drive in Philadelphia
beginning Saturday, August 27, for the reconstruction of the roundabout on
Walnut Lane at the intersection of Park Line Drive, the Pennsylvania
Department
of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced.

The reconstruction of the roundabout will enhance travel and safety by
calming
traffic as it enters and exits the roundabout and providing better
pedestrian
access. This work includes resurfacing the roundabout approaches;
installing
new sidewalks; installing curb ramps; reconstructing and landscaping the
center
island; relocating a water main and inlets; and installing new fire
hydrants.

During construction, northbound Walnut Lane will be detoured over Park
Avenue,
Wissahickon Avenue and Cliveden Street. Southbound motorists will be
detoured
over Cliveden Street and Wissahickon Avenue. Motorists are advised to allow

extra time when traveling through the area.

One sidewalk will remain open on the bridge for pedestrian travel during
construction.

The newly rebuilt roundabout is expected to open in mid-September.

The work is part of PennDOT's $14.7 million project to rehabilitate the
historic Walnut Lane Bridge over Wissahickon Creek in Philadelphia.

The Walnut Lane Bridge, which has been closed for construction since April
1,
2016, is scheduled to reopen in late September.

Construction began in November 2015 to rehabilitate the bridge by removing
the
existing bridge deck and replacing it with a new concrete deck. The plan
also
includes replacing the existing sidewalk, sidewalk supports and balustrade
railing, and repairing the support abutments and piers with formed concrete
to
match the architectural line and texture of the existing abutments and
piers.
The existing plaque at the southwest corner of the bridge is being
maintained,
and the damaged plaque at the northeast corner is being replaced with a
replica
plaque. The contractor also is installing new tear-drop street lights, and
removing the existing temporary structure under the bridge over Forbidden
Drive.

The six-span Walnut Lane bridge was built in 1907. The concrete arch
structure
is 565 feet long and 60 feet wide. It carried 16,810 vehicles a day prior
to
its closing.

Buckley and Company, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the
$14,769,654 contractor which is funded with 100 percent federal funds. The
project is expected to finish in August 2017.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by

Wolf Administration Announces Investments to Improve 23 Airports

Wolf Administration Announces Investments to Improve 23 Airports

8/22/2016-HARRISBURG

Twenty-three airports will make safety upgrades and expand operation
opportunities with the assistance of $8.8 million in state investments,
Governor Tom Wolf announced today.

"Maintaining and expanding opportunities in our transportation system
includes
the more than 400 airports in our state," Governor Wolf said. "Hundreds of
thousands of jobs are supported by aviation in Pennsylvania, and these
investments will help them operate safely, expand to meet demands, or
attract
more growth."

Included in the grants is $5.4 million distributed through the Aviation
Transportation Assistance Program, which is a capital budget grant program
funded with bonds. The grants leverage nearly $3.6 million in local
matching
funds. Authorized by the General Assembly, the grants are administered by
PennDOT's Bureau of Aviation.

The investments also include $3.4 million in state funding from PennDOT's
Aviation Development Program, which comes from the state's jet fuel tax and

leverages $1.1 million in local matching funds. Public-use airports in the
state are eligible for the Aviation Development Program.

The program complements the state Multimodal Fund, which dedicates $6
million
to aviation in this fiscal year alone. The fund was created by Act 89, a
far-reaching transportation funding program that clears the way for
significant
investments in all transportation modes.

Utility Relocation Scheduled Over Next Month on Meyers Road in Perkiomen Township, Montgomery County

Utility Relocation Scheduled Over Next Month on Meyers Road in Perkiomen
Township, Montgomery County

8/19/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced
that
lane restrictions are scheduled over the next month on Meyers Road between
Seitz Road and Mill Road in Perkiomen Township, Montgomery County,
beginning
Monday, August 22, for utility relocation and excavation. Crews will work
weekdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, through mid-September.

This preliminary work is part of PennDOT's $11 million project to improve
travel and safety at the intersections of Plank Road/Route 29 (Gravel
Pike)/Otts Road and Meyers Road/Seitz Road/Township Line Road in Skippack,
Perkiomen and Limerick Townships, Montgomery County.

The improvements include widening the intersection of Route 73 (Skippack
Pike)
and Plank Road to include left turn lanes on both roads; relocating Otts
Road
to align with Plank Road at Route 29 (Gravel Pike) to create a four-leg
intersection; adding left turn lanes on Route 29 (Gravel Pike) at Plank
Road/Otts Road; adding left turn lanes on Plank Road and Otts Road at Route
29
(Gravel Pike); realigning Meyers Road to intersect with Township Line Road;

realigning Seitz Road to form a T-intersection with Meyers Road; installing
new
traffic signals along the project corridor; and improving the roadway
alignment
in three locations.

During construction, detours will be in place at times for closures of
Plank
Road, Otts Road and Seitz Road. One directional closures will occur on
Route 29
(Gravel Pike). The project's traffic control plan was developed in concert
with
the Route 73 (Skippack Pike) bridge project because Plank Road and Route 29

(Gravel Pike) are part of the Route 73 (Skippack Pike) bridge detour. Route
73
(Skippack Pike) bridge construction began on April 25, 2016, and will
finish in
late December 2016.

H & K Group, Inc., of Skippack, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor on
the $11,292,416 contract that financed with 100 percent funds. The project
is
expected to finish by spring of 2019.

PennDOT and National Park Service Open New Sullivan’s Bridge for Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel in Valley Forge National Historical Park

PennDOT and National Park Service Open New Sullivan's Bridge for Bicycle
and Pedestrian Travel in Valley Forge National Historical Park

8/19/2016-West Norriton Township, PA

PennDOT Secretary of Transportation Leslie S. Richards this morning joined
the
National Park Service and federal, state and local officials to open
Sullivan's
Bridge – the new, four-span, bicycle and pedestrian trail bridge spanning
the
Schuylkill River in Valley Forge National Historical Park (VFNHP).

"Sullivan's Bridge is a wonderful addition to Valley Forge National
Historical
Park and to the region's Circuit Trails network," Richards said. "This new
trail bridge greatly enhances recreational mobility in the park and it
creates
a new multi-use trail connection between the park and the Schuylkill River
Trail."

"We're delighted that this day has come," said VFNHP Superintendent Kate
Hammond. "This month, the National Park Service is observing its 100th
anniversary, and what better way than to open this wonderful bridge that
will
be a linchpin in connecting the park with all the people who use hundreds
of
miles of regional trails."

With its opening, Sullivan's Bridge becomes a critical link in the Circuit
Trails, a vast regional trail network that is composed of hundreds of miles
of
interconnected trails in the region. The bridge's location in VFNHP further

connects the Circuit Trails between Montgomery County and Chester County.

Named for Major General John Sullivan, the officer who was charged by
General
George Washington with building a bridge across the Schuylkill River during
the
1777-78 Valley Forge winter encampment of the Continental Army, the
concrete,
bicycle-and-pedestrian-trail bridge is 14 feet wide and 604 feet long. The
bridge features an observation area where trail users can stop midway to
view
the Schuylkill River and VFNHP. Construction began in March 2014.

Prior to the opening of Sullivan's Bridge, pedestrians and bicyclists
crossed
the Schuylkill River in this area by walking on a narrow boardwalk path on
the
west side of U.S. 422. This path, which was 4 feet, 6 inches wide, opened
in
1994 following the closure of the Old Betzwood Bridge over the Schuylkill
River
in VFNHP. The Old Betzwood Bridge closed in 1993 and was removed in 1995.

In addition to building Sullivan's Bridge on the alignment of the former
Old
Betzwood Bridge, PennDOT's contractor replaced the nearby South Trooper
Road
bridge over the Schuylkill River Trail with a 60-foot long reinforced
concrete
arch structure; rehabilitated the 73-foot long bridge over Norfolk Southern

railroad tracks; replaced the South Trooper Road pavement with a 14-foot
wide
asphalt trail between Station Lane (on the south side of the river) and the

Riverview entrance (on the north side of the river); and rehabilitated
South
Trooper Road to accommodate two 14-foot wide travel lanes between the
Riverview
entrance and Susan Lane.

J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, was the general contractor on
the
$9,271,458 construction project, which was financed with 100 percent
federal
funds.

PennDOT will transfer ownership of the right-of-way and bridges built under

this project to Upper Merion Township and West Norriton Township. Under a
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), the National Park Service will own and
maintain
Sullivan's Bridge and the adjacent bridge over Norfolk Southern railroad
tracks. West Norriton Township will own South Trooper Road where it's open
to
vehicular traffic north of the Schuylkill River and the South Trooper Road
bridge over the Schuylkill River Trail.

Engineering design of the Sullivan's Bridge project was managed under a
local
agreement between PennDOT and the Upper Merion Transportation Authority, in

close coordination with Upper Merion Township, West Norriton Township and
the
National Park Service.

Sullivan's Bridge is part of the Schuylkill River Crossing Complex of
transportation improvement projects that are designed to enhance
multi-modal
travel on U.S. 422 between the Route 363 (Trooper Road) and Route 23
(Valley
Forge Road) interchanges. In addition to Sullivan's Bridge, the
improvements
include the $97 million project currently under construction to rebuild
U.S.
422 between the two interchanges and build new, wider bridges over the
Schuylkill River, Schuylkill River Trail, South Trooper Road and Norfolk
Southern railroad tracks; the recent opening of two additional ramps built
to
complete the U.S. 422/Route 363 (Trooper Road) Interchange; and the
relocation
of North Gulph Road at Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) in VFNHP, which is
expected
to move to construction in 2019.
