Route 452 (Market Street) Travel Restrictions Next Week for Bridge
Construction in Delaware County

5/18/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Route 452 (Market Street) will be reduced to a single lane between Ormand
Street and 11th Street on Monday, May 21, through Friday, May 25, from 7:00
AM
to 5:00 PM, for utility improvements as part of a project replace the
structure
carrying Route 452 (Market Street) over Amtrak and SEPTA railroad tracks in

Marcus Hook Borough and Lower Chichester Township, Delaware County, the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work
area
because backups and delays will occur. All traffic during construction will
be
controlled by flagging operations.

Route 452 (Market Street) will continue to remain open to traffic during
construction except for two 28-day closures planned during later stages of
construction. The project is scheduled to finish in fall 2019.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT's contractor is replacing the
17-span
reinforced concrete T-beam bridge with a new four-span, continuous
prestressed
box beam bridge. The new bridge will be 343 feet long, 40 feet wide and
will be
built on a new alignment and widened to meet current design standards.
Crews
will also resurface and regrade new approaches to the bridge.

The bridge was built in 1925 and rehabilitated in 1995. The current
structure
is 656 feet long, 32 feet wide and carries an average of 8,700 vehicles a
day.

Road-Con, Inc., of West Chester, Chester County, is the general contractor
on
the $19,947,624 project that is financed with 80 percent federal and 20
percent
state funds.
