PennDOT Reopens Hollow Road (Sheeder Hall) Covered Bridge in East Vincent and West Vincent Townships, Chester County
King of Prussia, PA – The Hollow Road (Sheeder Hall) Covered Bridge over French Creek in East Vincent and West Vincent townships, Chester County reopened today following a four-month closure due to damage sustained from impact by a vehicle, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
The single lane steel I-beam covered bridge was originally built in 1850 and reconstructed in 1996. Following its closure in November 2016 due to damage sustained from another crash, the bridge was reopened in July 2017 following the completion of a $450,000 rehabilitation project.
The single-span bridge is 102 feet long and 15 feet wide and carries an average of 1,007 vehicles a day.
