PennDOT Reopens Edenton Road Bridge in Upper Oxford Township, Chester
County

3/24/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) this morning
reopened
the Edenton Road bridge over Rattlesnake Run in Upper Oxford Township,
Chester
County.

PennDOT began construction in February to replace the deteriorated bridge
deck
and repair the abutments. The one-span, wood deck bridge was built in 1936.
It
is 12 feet long and 21 feet wide, and carries an average of 199 vehicles a
day.
Following its rehabilitation, the bridge is no longer categorized as
structurally deficient.

The bridge carrying Edenton Road bridge over Rattlesnake Run is the first
of
four bridges to be completed under PennDOT's $11,766,000 project to
rehabilitate four structurally deficient bridges in Bucks, Chester,
Montgomery
and Philadelphia counties, and replace six structurally deficient culverts
in
Bucks, Chester and Delaware counties.

Under this project, the contractor also will replace deteriorated culverts
at
the following locations: State Road bridge over a branch of Cooks Creek in
Springfield Township, Bucks County; Rocky Ridge Road over a branch of
Tohickon
Creek, Richland Township, Bucks County; White Horse Road over a branch of
Pickering Creek in Schuylkill Township, Chester County; Route 282 (Creek
Road)
over a branch of Brandywine Creek in East Brandywine Township, Chester
County;
Route 82 (Doe Run Road) in East Fallowfield Township, Chester County; and
MacDade Boulevard over the Muckinipattis Creek in Glenolden Borough,
Delaware
County.

PennDOT is currently rehabilitating the Route 663 (Layfield Road) bridge
over
the Perkiomen Creek in Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County; Oxford
Valley
Road bridge over U.S. 1 in Falls and Lower Makefield townships, Bucks
County;
and the Torresdale Avenue bridge over Academy Road in Philadelphia.

Loftus Construction, Inc. of Cinnaminson, N.J., is the general contractor
on
this bridge improvement contract that is financed with 100 percent state
funds
through Act 89, Pennsylvania's transportation plan.

All work on the project is expected to be completed in August 2018.
