PennDOT to Begin Rehabilitation of U.S. 1 Bridge over Church Road in New
Garden Township, Chester County

6/29/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today
that
construction will begin next week to rehabilitate the bridge carrying U.S.
1
over Church Road in New Garden Township, Chester County, as part of a $5.5
million project to rehabilitate 10 structurally deficient bridges in Bucks,

Chester and Montgomery counties.

Beginning Thursday, July 6, through mid-October, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM,
there
will be periodic weekday lane restrictions with flagging on Church Road
between
Sherwood Drive and Polo Road for construction activities underneath the
U.S. 1
bridge.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the area
because slowdowns may occur.

Earlier this month construction began to rehabilitate the Spring Garden
Street
bridge over Interstate 76 in West Conshohocken Borough, Montgomery County,
and
the bridge carrying Terwood Road over Pennypack Creek in Upper Moreland
Township, Montgomery County;
Both bridges will be completed and reopened this summer.

The other seven bridges included in this rehabilitation project include:

• Thatcher Road over Tohickon Creek in Richland Township, Bucks County;
• Thatcher Road over Dimple Creek in Haycock Township, Bucks County;
• University Road over U.S. 1 in Upper Oxford Township, Chester County;
• Township Road over U.S. 1 in Lower Oxford Township, Chester County;
• Cowpath Road over Perkiomen Creek in Salford and Franconia townships,
Montgomery County;
• Gypsy Lane over I-76 in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County; and
• Farmington Avenue over Route 100 in Upper Pottsgrove, Montgomery County.

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

Work on the entire project is expected to be completed in October 2019.
