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.
