PennDOT Reopens Suplee Road Bridge in Honey Brook Township

King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has reopened the structure carrying Suplee Road over the east branch of Brandywine Creek in Honey Brook Township, Chester County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today, following the completion of a bridge rehabilitation project.

PennDOT's contractor rehabilitated the 84-year-old structure with repairs that included encasing the beam ends and sections of the open steel grid deck in reinforced concrete. The bridge is 32 feet long and 22 feet wide and carries an average of 990 vehicles a day.

This work is part of nine structures in Bucks and Chester counties that PennDOT is repairing or replacing under a $4,523,491 project financed with 100 percent state funds.

Structures completed under this project include:

  • Route 313 (Dublin Pike/Swamp Road) over Deep Run in Hilltown and Bedminster townships, Bucks County;
  • Butler Avenue over branch of Neshaminy Creek in New Britain Township, Bucks County;
  • Pughtown Road over French Creek in East Vincent Township, Chester County;
  • Route 896 (Newark Road) over Muddy Creek in Upper Oxford Township, Chester County;
  • Route 841 (Chatham Road) over Doe Run in West Marlborough Township, Chester County; and
  • Route 926 (Street Road) over Radley Run in Thornbury and Westtown townships, Chester County.

Another structure in progress includes:

  • Two Green Valley Road structures. One over tributary of West Brandywine Creek, and one over Green Valley Creek in Newlin Township, Chester County.

C. Abbonzino Contractors, Inc. of Sewell, N.J., is the general contractor on the bridge improvement project. Work on the entire project is expected to be completed in 2021.
