PennDOT to Rehabilitate the Bridge Carrying Route 532 (Bustleton Avenue) over CSX Railroad in Philadelphia
King of Prussia, PA – Construction is scheduled to begin Monday, October 28, on a project to rehabilitate the bridge carrying Route 532 (Bustleton Avenue) over CSX Railroad in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
Monday, October 28, through Friday, November 1, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, left lane closures are scheduled on Route 532 (Bustleton Avenue) in both directions between Norwalk Road and Haldeman Road for median curb reconstruction.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
As part of the overall bridge improvement project, PennDOT's contractor will perform concrete and steel repairs on the substructure. Work on the bridge project is expected to end in Spring 2020.
Built in 1973, the two-span bridge is 213 feet long and 80 feet wide. The structure carries an average of 33,569 vehicles a day.
The Route 532 (Bustleton Avenue) Bridge is one of ten structures in Chester, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties that PennDOT is repairing under a $9.8 million project financed by Act 89, the state's transportation plan.
Structures completed under this project include:
• Boot Road over Route 100 in West Whiteland Township, Chester County;
• Main Street over Norfolk Southern Railroad in Limerick Township, Montgomery County;
• Route 611 over Pennypack Creek in Upper Moreland, Montgomery County;
• Route 611 over the Pennsylvania Turnpike ramp in Upper Moreland, Montgomery County;
• Old Lancaster Road over Amtrak in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County
• Ross Fording Road over Octoraro Creek in West Fallowfield Township, Chester County;
• Quakertown Road over Macoby Creek in Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County; and
• Route 63 (Welsh Road) over Norfolk Southern Railroad in Upper Dublin and Upper Moreland townships, Montgomery County.
The other bridge in this rehabilitation project include:
• Whitford Road over Valley Creek in West Whiteland Township, Chester County.
