Route 452 (Market Street) Lane Restrictions at Night Next Weekend for Bridge Construction in Delaware County
King of Prussia, PA – Route 452 (Market Street) will be reduced to a single lane between Ormand Street and 11th Street on Saturday, July 14, and Sunday, July 15, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, so crews can set bridge beams as part of a project to 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. During the operation, motorists can also expect to encounter periodic 15-minute traffic stoppages.
Drivers 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.
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.
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.
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.
