PennDOT Completes Major Construction to Replace Route 452 (Market Street) Bridge over Amtrak/SEPTA in Delaware County
King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today reopened the bridge carrying the Route 452 (Market Street) over Amtrak and SEPTA railroad tracks in Marcus Hook Borough and Lower Chichester Township, Delaware County, marking the end of major construction on this improvement project.
Work will continue through April 2020 to construct and improve pedestrian access to SEPTA facilities. During these operations, there may be periodic lane restrictions on the bridge, but no full closures are planned.
Under this improvement project, PennDOT's contractor replaced the 17-span reinforced concrete T-beam bridge with a new four-span, continuous prestressed box beam bridge. The new bridge is 343 feet long, 40 feet wide and was constructed on a new alignment and widened to meet current design standards. The bridge approaches were also regraded and resurfaced to enhance travel and safety.
Road-Con, Inc., of West Chester, Chester County, is the general contractor on the $21,392,398 project which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.
