Route
29 (Main Street/Gravel Pike) at the Perkiomen Avenue and Concord Road
intersections in Schwenksville Borough and Perkiomen and Skippack
townships,
Montgomery County, on Tuesday, November 8, through Tuesday, November 22,
from
9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, and 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM, for resurfacing and traffic
signal
repairs, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today
announced.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the area.
The
work schedule is contingent on the weather.

The work is part of a $1.1 million project to rehabilitate the structurally

deficient bridge carrying Route 73 (Skippack Pike) over Perkiomen Creek.
The
bridge is scheduled to reopen later this month.

The Route 73 (Skippack Pike) 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; and 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.
