PennDOT Reopens Route 82 (Doe Run Road) Culvert in East Fallowfield
Township, Chester County

6/30/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today reopened the
culvert carrying Route 82 (Doe Run Road) over a branch of Sucker Run in
East
Fallowfield Township, Chester County.

Crews began construction on January 17, 2017, to rehabilitate the one-span,

structurally-deficient steel and concrete slab culvert. Built in 1915, the
structure is 13 feet long, 28 feet wide and carries about 2,977 vehicles a
day.

The work was part of PennDOT's $11.7 million 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.

Over the last two months, the bridge carrying Torresdale Avenue over
Academy
Road in Philadelphia, the Edenton Road bridge over Rattlesnake Run in Upper

Oxford Township, Chester County, and the Route 663 (Layfield Road) bridge
over
the Perkiomen Creek in Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County. were
completed under this project.

PennDOT is currently rehabilitating the bridge carrying Oxford Valley Road
over
U.S. 1 in Falls, Middletown and Lower Makefield townships, Bucks County.
The
bridge is scheduled to reopen later this summer.

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; and

MacDade Boulevard over the Muckinipattis Creek in Glenolden Borough,
Delaware
County.

Work on the entire project is expected to be completed in August 2018.

Loftus Construction, Inc. of Cinnaminson, N.J., is the general contractor
on
this project which is financed with 100 percent state funds through Act 89,

Pennsylvania's transportation plan.
