PennDOT closed Headquarters Road on March 2, 2011, between Red Hill Road
and
Tankhannen Road, due to deterioration of the concrete deck.
The posted detour directs motorists over Red Hill Road, Dark Hollow Road,
and
Route 32 (River Road). Trucks are being detoured over Route 611, Route
413,
Stump Road/Tohickon Hill Road, and Route 32 (River Road).
PennDOT closed the bridge after an inspection discovered a 3 ½-foot-by-1 ½-
foot- wide hole in the bridge deck. The bridge was reduced to one lane in
April 2010, due to damage to the sidewalls.
The three-span, concrete encased I-beam bridge was built in 1919. It is 80
feet long and 18 feet wide. The structure carried 638 vehicles a day and
was

Township, Chester County, on Monday, November 28, through Thursday,
December 1,
from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, for conduit installation, the Pennsylvania
Department
of Transportation (PennDOT) said today.
Motorists are advised to allow additional time for travel on U.S. 422

PennDOT Alert: College Ave detour in Haverford Twp
| This is a message from Delco Alert
|
Agencies Partnering for Safe, Improved Thanksgiving Travel
Agencies Partnering for Safe, Improved Thanksgiving Travel
11/21/2016-HARRISBURG
With increased traffic expected for the upcoming Thanksgiving travel
period,
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Pennsylvania
State
Police (PSP) today outlined measures they will take and tools available to
drivers to make holiday travel as safe and smooth as possible.
Thanksgiving travelers are encouraged to visit the "Historic Holiday
Traffic"
page at www.511PA.com, which allows users to see how traffic speeds on the
Wednesday before and Sunday after Thanksgiving in 2014 and 2015 compare to
traffic conditions during a typical, non-holiday week. Users can choose
their
region and view an hour-by-hour, color-coded visual of traffic speeds to
help
them decide the best times to travel during the holiday. 511PA also offers
real-time, traffic speed information for roughly 2,900 highway miles of
roadways throughout PA.
"I encourage all motorists to use 511PA, not only for their holiday
travels,
but also throughout the winter season," PennDOT Secretary Leslie S.
Richards
said. "From traffic speeds and cameras to plow tracking, the site and
mobile
applications are great resources to help make travel decisions."
PennDOT traffic management staff have analyzed this holiday data and
identified
locations and timeframes where congestion typically increases dramatically
during the holiday and will take steps to try to alleviate congestion and
improve safety. The department will also partner with police for increased,
strategic enforcement of speed and impaired driving laws. Travel data was
also
shared with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency for distribution
to
9-1-1 centers so staff are aware of and can plan for peak travel times,
when
call volume could increase.
"We're always looking for new ways to use our resources to improve our
operations and the public's mobility," Richards said. "These efforts are
more
examples of how we're striving to embody the governor's Government That
Works
agenda every day."
In the Harrisburg region, PennDOT's State Farm Safety Patrol will have two
additional tow trucks along the Capital Beltway and parts of Interstate 81.
Staff also identified consistent, increased congestion on the Sunday after
the
holiday near I-81 southbound at the I-78 split in Lebanon County. To
attempt to
ease this congestion, the department will:
• Use highway advisory radio messages and electronic message boards to
encourage travelers to reroute onto U.S. 22 westbound, which typically has
excess capacity;
• Use a traffic signals expert in its regional traffic management center to
manage U.S. 22's newly installed adaptive signal system to most effectively
manage the rerouted traffic; and
• Partner with PSP on concentrated traffic enforcement near this area and
to
actively clear disabled vehicles from shoulders.
In the Philadelphia region, staff identified I-95 in Delaware County and
I-76
(Schuylkill Expressway) as target areas and will:
• Have a PSP trooper stationed in the regional traffic management center
from
Thursday through Sunday for faster communications to field personnel for
quick
incident and shoulder clearance; and
• Increase the hours that PennDOT's State Farm Safety Patrol will be on
duty.
In the central region, congestion was identified at the I-80 Exit 161
(Bellefonte) in Centre County on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. PennDOT
will:
• Station staff to manage traffic at the off-exit intersection with Route
26;
• Use electronic message signs to reroute traffic to Exit 173 (Lamar) to
use
Route 64 to I-99 southbound if necessary;
• Partner with PSP on seat-belt and speed enforcement near the congested
area;
and
• Alert motorists of traffic conditions with highway advisory radio,
electronic
message signs and the 511PA service.
In the southwest region, construction-project lane restrictions will be
removed
and traffic enforcement will be increased on the I-70 corridor, along with
the
addition of electronic message signs to inform drivers of their travel
speeds.
To further increase traffic-data availability for traffic management staff,
PennDOT has created a portal through which staff can receive prioritized
reports from Waze, a real-time crowdsourced navigation app through which
drivers share road conditions. As a member of the Waze Connected Citizens
Program, the department can receive incident or roadway concern alerts
faster
and respond more quickly if necessary.
PennDOT will also remove lane restrictions and suspend construction
projects
wherever possible through the holiday period. Motorists can see remaining
construction projects at www.511PA.com before they travel.
The public can use 511PA to check conditions on nearly 40,000 roadway miles
in
Pennsylvania. The service is free and available 24 hours a day, and
provides
traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and
access
to more than 770 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a
smartphone
application for iPhone and Android devices. Information can also be
accessed by
calling 5-1-1 or by following regional Twitter alerts accessible on the
511PA
website.

11/21/2016-HARRISBURG
With increased traffic expected for the upcoming Thanksgiving travel
period,
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Pennsylvania
State
Police (PSP) today outlined measures they will take and tools available to
drivers to make holiday travel as safe and smooth as possible.
Thanksgiving travelers are encouraged to visit the "Historic Holiday
Traffic"
page at www.511PA.com, which allows users to see how traffic speeds on the
Wednesday before and Sunday after Thanksgiving in 2014 and 2015 compare to
traffic conditions during a typical, non-holiday week. Users can choose
their
region and view an hour-by-hour, color-coded visual of traffic speeds to
help
them decide the best times to travel during the holiday. 511PA also offers
real-time, traffic speed information for roughly 2,900 highway miles of
roadways throughout PA.
"I encourage all motorists to use 511PA, not only for their holiday
travels,
but also throughout the winter season," PennDOT Secretary Leslie S.
Richards
said. "From traffic speeds and cameras to plow tracking, the site and
mobile
applications are great resources to help make travel decisions."
PennDOT traffic management staff have analyzed this holiday data and
identified
locations and timeframes where congestion typically increases dramatically
during the holiday and will take steps to try to alleviate congestion and
improve safety. The department will also partner with police for increased,
strategic enforcement of speed and impaired driving laws. Travel data was
also
shared with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency for distribution
to
9-1-1 centers so staff are aware of and can plan for peak travel times,
when
call volume could increase.
"We're always looking for new ways to use our resources to improve our
operations and the public's mobility," Richards said. "These efforts are
more
examples of how we're striving to embody the governor's Government That
Works
agenda every day."
In the Harrisburg region, PennDOT's State Farm Safety Patrol will have two
additional tow trucks along the Capital Beltway and parts of Interstate 81.
Staff also identified consistent, increased congestion on the Sunday after
the
holiday near I-81 southbound at the I-78 split in Lebanon County. To
attempt to
ease this congestion, the department will:
• Use highway advisory radio messages and electronic message boards to
encourage travelers to reroute onto U.S. 22 westbound, which typically has
excess capacity;
• Use a traffic signals expert in its regional traffic management center to
manage U.S. 22's newly installed adaptive signal system to most effectively
manage the rerouted traffic; and
• Partner with PSP on concentrated traffic enforcement near this area and
to
actively clear disabled vehicles from shoulders.
In the Philadelphia region, staff identified I-95 in Delaware County and
I-76
(Schuylkill Expressway) as target areas and will:
• Have a PSP trooper stationed in the regional traffic management center
from
Thursday through Sunday for faster communications to field personnel for
quick
incident and shoulder clearance; and
• Increase the hours that PennDOT's State Farm Safety Patrol will be on
duty.
In the central region, congestion was identified at the I-80 Exit 161

will:
• Station staff to manage traffic at the off-exit intersection with Route
26;
• Use electronic message signs to reroute traffic to Exit 173 (Lamar) to

and

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will start construction
Monday,
November 28, on a $400,000 project to rehabilitate the bridge carrying
Broad
Street (Route 611) over U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) in Philadelphia.
Construction on the bridge is scheduled to finish in late January 2017.
PennDOT's contractor will work over the next two months to rehabilitate the
bridge by improving the current drainage system. Crews will install a new
perforated pipe through one of the existing abutments to carry water
directly
into the existing drainage network. A subsurface drainage system will also
be
installed to collect water.
During construction, weekday lane restrictions will be in effect on the
northbound and southbound express lanes on U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) at
the
Broad Street (Route 611) Interchange from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Motorists are
advised to allow extra time when traveling through this work zone.
The Broad Street (Route 611) bridge was built in 1961. The single-span
concrete
bridge is 88 feet long, 113 feet wide and carries an average of 31,303
vehicles
a day.
The Broad Street (Route 611) bridge is one of eight bridges in Bucks,
Delaware,
Montgomery and Philadelphia counties that PennDOT is repairing under a
$7,555,555 project financed by Pennsylvania's transportation funding plan,
Act
89.
PennDOT has completed the rehabilitations of the U.S. 13 (Bristol Pike)
bridge
over Martins Creek in Falls Township, Bucks County; Chinquapin Road bridge
over
Iron Works Creek in Northampton Township, Bucks County; Dark Hollow Road
bridge
over Tohickon Creek in Tinicum Township, Bucks County; Route 32 (South Main
Street) bridge over Aquetong Creek in New Hope Borough, Bucks County; and
the
Route 73 (Skippack Pike) bridge over Perkiomen Creek in Perkiomen and

townships, and Schwenksville Borough, Montgomery County.
The two remaining bridges that will be repaired under this contract are:
• Bryn Mawr Avenue bridge over Ithan Creek in Radnor Township, Delaware
County;
and
• New Second Street bridge over Tacony Creek in Cheltenham Township,
Montgomery
County.
The entire project is expected to be completed by fall 2017.
Loftus Construction, Inc. of Cinnaminson, N.J., is the general contractor
on
the project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by

Montgomery County
11/18/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today reopened the
bridge carrying Route 73 (Skippack Pike) over Perkiomen Creek in Perkiomen
and
Skippack townships, and Schwenksville Borough, Montgomery County.
Construction
on the $1.1 million project was completed a month ahead of schedule.
PennDOT's contractor rehabilitated the formerly structurally deficient
bridge
by replacing the deteriorated concrete beams and bridge deck, and repairing
the
support abutments and drainage system. The roadway approaches to the bridge
were also resurfaced.
The Route 73 (Skippack Pike) bridge was built in 1924. The three-span
bridge is
165 feet long, 32 feet wide and carries an average of 12,742 vehicles a
day.
The bridge is one of eight bridges in Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery and
Philadelphia counties that PennDOT is repairing under a $7,555,555 project
financed by Pennsylvania's transportation funding plan, Act 89.
PennDOT has completed the rehabilitations of the U.S. 13 (Bristol Pike)
bridge
over Martins Creek in Falls Township, Bucks County; Chinquapin Road bridge
over
Iron Works Creek in Northampton Township, Bucks County; Dark Hollow Road
bridge
over Tohickon Creek in Tinicum Township, Bucks County; and the Route 32
(South
Main Street) bridge over Aquetong Creek in New Hope Borough, Bucks County.
The three remaining bridges that will be repaired under this contract are:
• Bryn Mawr Avenue bridge over Ithan Creek in Radnor Township, Delaware
County;
• New Second Street bridge over Tacony Creek in Cheltenham Township,
Montgomery
County; and
• Route 611 (Broad Street) bridge over U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Extension) in
Philadelphia.
The entire project is expected to be completed by fall 2017.
Loftus Construction, Inc. of Cinnaminson, N.J., is the general contractor
on
the project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.
