PennDOT Reopens Whitehall Road Bridge in West Norriton, East Norriton Townships
King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has reopened the bridge carrying Whitehall Road over Kepner Creek in West Norriton and East Norriton townships, Montgomery County, following the completion of a bridge rehabilitation due to undermining at the pier and far abutments resulting from storm damage.
PennDOT's contractor dewatered the spans; removed large timber debris; underpinned the structure's abutments, pier, and apron areas; constructed new concrete channels; and placed rock for scour protection.
Built in 1911, and rehabilitated in 2012, the 2-span stone masonry arch bridge is 41 feet long, 35 feet wide, and carries approximately 12,729 vehicles a day.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
