PennDOT Reopens Stonybrook Road and South Sugan Road Bridges in Bucks County
King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has reopened the bridge carrying Stonybrook Road over Jericho Creek in Upper Makefield Township and the bridge carrying South Sugan Road over Aquetong Creek in New Hope Borough, Bucks County following the completion of two rehabilitation projects.
PennDOT's contractor rehabilitated the structure over Jericho Creek by adding concrete overlay to the bridge deck; performing concrete substructure repairs; replacing and resealing the bridge deck joints; installing scour rock protection; and milling and paving the roadway.
Built in 1973, the single-span bridge is 58 feet long and 48 feet wide. It carries an average of 738 vehicles a day.
