10/12/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) reopened the
Trewigtown
Road bridge late this afternoon, October 12, between Anthony Drive and Line

Lexington Road in Hatfield Township, Montgomery County, following the
rehabilitation of the township-owned bridge over a tributary of the
Neshaminy
Creek.

PennDOT began construction in July to replace the deteriorated bridge deck
and
beams. The single-span, prestressed adjacent box beam bridge was built in
1975.
It is 39 feet long and 44 feet wide. It carried 600 vehicles a day when it
closed for construction on July 18, 2016.

The improvement of the Trewigtown Road bridge is part of PennDOT's $2.4
million
project to rehabilitate five township-owned, structurally deficient bridges
in
Montgomery County. This local bridge improvement project was enabled
through
Act 89, Pennsylvania's transportation plan.

J.D. Eckman, Inc., of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on
the
$2,684,206 project. The rehabilitation of the five bridges is expected to
be
completed in late 2016. The project is financed with 100 percent state
funds.
