PennDOT Reopens Street Road Bridge over Curls Run in Solebury Township,
Bucks County

11/16/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that the
bridge carrying Street Road over Curls Run in Solebury Township, Bucks
County,
reopened today.

PennDOT's contractor rehabilitated the bridge by removing and replacing the

existing arch fill and pavement, and reconstructing the stone masonry
barriers,
spandrel walls and wing walls along the right side of the bridge, which was

damaged earlier this year from vehicular impact. The remaining stone
masonry
features were cleaned and repointed.

Built in 1860, the one-span, stone masonry arch bridge is 13 feet long and
18
feet wide. The structure carries 1,300 vehicles a day.

The rehabilitation of the Street Road bridge over Curls Run is part of
PennDOT's $6.8 million project to rehabilitate 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.

Work on the entire project is scheduled to be completed in late 2018.

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.
