PennDOT Reopens Chestnut Street Bridge, I-95 South Ramp to Chestnut Street (Exit 6) in the City of Chester, Delaware County
King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today reopened the Chestnut Street Bridge and ramp from southbound Interstate 95 to Chestnut Street (Exit 6) in the City of Chester, Delaware County.
The bridge and ramp had been closed for rehabilitation under a $27.9 million PennDOT project to repair the multi-span, steel girder bridges on Chestnut Street, Potter Street, Madison Street, Upland Street, Melrose Avenue, Edgmont Avenue, and the Crosby Street and Walnut Street pedestrian structures.
While rehabilitation work has been completed on the Chestnut Street Bridge and ramp, there will be occasional nighttime closures to perform overhead work.
In addition to the bridge and ramp improvements, PennDOT's contractor is repairing Chestnut Street and Morton Avenue from 12th Street to 4th Street; reconstructing curbs and sidewalks; milling and resurfacing the streets; installing a new traffic signal at Chestnut Street and Morton Avenue; upgrading the traffic signal at Morton Avenue and 7th Street; and reconstructing Morton Avenue from 7th Street to 4th Street to lower the road under the Amtrak overpass to increase vertical clearance.
South State, Inc. of Bridgeton, N.J. is the general contractor on the project which is financed with 100 percent state funds.
