PennDOT Reopens Main Street Culvert over Wertz Creek in Sellersville
Borough, Bucks County

9/6/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) reopened the
culvert
carrying Main Street over Wertz Creek between Longwood Avenue and Twelfth
Street in Sellersville Borough, Bucks County, on Tuesday afternoon. The
culvert
is no longer categorized as structurally deficient.

Over the last three months, PennDOT's contractor worked to replace the
existing
concrete arch culvert with a new precast concrete box culvert.

Built in 1937, the one-span culvert is 19 feet long and 47 feet wide. The
structure carries about 6,044 vehicles a day.

The replacement of the Main Street culvert over Wertz Creek is part of
PennDOT's $6.8 million project to rehabilitate/replace five
structurally-deficient bridges in Bucks and Montgomery counties, three
structurally-deficient culverts in Bucks County, and to stabilize a stream
embankment at a bridge in Bucks 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 scheduled to be completed in late 2018.

For more information on projects occurring or being bid this year, those
made
possible by or accelerated by Act 89, or those on the department's Four and
