Swamp Creek Road Reopens Following Bridge Rehabilitation in Marlborough Township
King of Prussia, PA – Swamp Creek Road has reopened between Geryville Pike and Payne Road in Marlborough Township, Montgomery County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today, following the rehabilitation of the bridge carrying Swamp Creek Road over Unami Creek.
PennDOT's contractor repaired the structure's foundation at the pier and near abutment to prevent future scouring. The three-span stone masonry arch bridge was closed in late December 2021 after undermining of the bridge pier was discovered during an underwater bridge inspection.
Before the recent December closure, the Swamp Creek Road bridge was initially closed in September 2021 to repair the approach roadway due to damaged caused by Tropical Storm Ida. Approximately 203 vehicles travel across the 130-year-old, 89-foot-long, 20-foot-wide structure daily.
Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com or downloading the 511PA mobile application. 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.
