PennDOT to Improve Bryn Mawr Avenue Bridge in Radnor Township

PennDOT to Improve Bryn Mawr Avenue Bridge in Radnor Township

4/14/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) will start
construction
Monday, May 1, on a project to rehabilitate the bridge carrying Bryn Mawr
Avenue over Ithan Creek in Radnor Township, Delaware County.

PennDOT's contractor will work over the next three months to rehabilitate
the
bridge by replacing the box beams and bridge barrier; installing new guide
rail, repairing the substructure; and resurfacing the approach roadway.

Due to the nature of the repairs, Bryn Mawr Avenue will be closed and
detoured
between Route 320 (Sproul Road) and Ithan Avenue beginning Monday, May 1,
through the completion of the project scheduled in August. During
construction,
Bryan Mawr Avenue motorists will be detoured over Route 320 (Sproul Road),
U.S.
30 (Lancaster Avenue) and County Line Road.

The Bryn Mawr Avenue bridge over Ithan Creek was built in 1964. The
single-span
concrete box beam bridge is 45 feet long, 28 feet wide and carries an
average
of 10,411 vehicles a day.

The structure is one of eight bridges in Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery and
Philadelphia counties that PennDOT is repairing under a $7,555,555 project
financed by Act 89, the state's transportation plan.

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; Route
73
(Skippack Pike) bridge over Perkiomen Creek in Perkiomen and Skippack
townships, and Schwenksville Borough, Montgomery County; and the Broad
Street
(Route 611) bridge over U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) in Philadelphia.

The remaining bridge to be repaired under this contract is the New Second
Street bridge over Tacony Creek in Cheltenham Township, Montgomery County.
Construction to rehabilitate that structure is expected to begin this
summer.

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.
