Route 401 (Conestoga Road) Bridge Repairs

This is a message from ReadyChesco.


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 20, 2016

 

Route 401 (Conestoga Road) Bridge to be Reduced to One Lane in West Vincent Township, Chester County, Due to Bridge Damage

 

King of Prussia, PA – Route 401 (Conestoga Road) will be reduced from two lanes to one at the intersection with St. Matthews Road in West Vincent Township, Chester County, beginning Thursday afternoon, April 21, due to structural damage to the stone masonry arch bridge over a branch of Pickering Creek, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said today. 

 

Two-way travel on Route 401 (Conestoga Road) will be controlled at this single-lane section by stop signs. Motorists are advised to use extra care and allow additional time for travel through the restricted area because slowdowns will occur.

 

St. Matthews Road will remain open and turning moves will be maintained at the intersection. St. Matthews Road traffic will continue to be controlled by stop signs at the Route 401 (Conestoga Road) intersection. 

 

PennDOT will implement the single-lane traffic pattern on Route 401 (Conestoga Road) following a bridge inspection that revealed damage to the stone walls that run alongside the roadway.

 

The width of Route 401 (Conestoga Road) will be narrowed to 15 feet through the intersection with St. Matthews Road. Protective barrels will be placed in front of the stone walls. 

 

PennDOT plans to develop a rehabilitation project to repair the stone arch structure and restore Route 401 (Conestoga Road) to two travel lanes at this location.

 

The Route 401 (Conestoga Road) bridge was built in 1870.  It is 11 feet long and 42 feet wide due to the skew of the structure. The normal roadway width for two-way travel across the bridge is 18 feet. Route 401 (Conestoga Road) carries 6,000 vehicles a day in the area of this bridge.

 

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway 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 770 traffic cameras.

PennDOT to Reopen Graterford Road Bridge in Perkiomen and Skippack Townships

PennDOT to Reopen Graterford Road Bridge in Perkiomen and Skippack
Townships

4/21/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Graterford Road will reopen to traffic between Route 29 and Route 73 in
Perkiomen and Skippack townships, Montgomery County, on Friday afternoon,
April
22, following the rehabilitation of the three-span bridge over the
Perkiomen
Creek, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today
announced.

PennDOT's contractor worked the past five months to rehabilitate the former

structurally-deficient bridge by replacing the deck and beams; repairing
the
piers and support abutments; and upgrading the guide rail.

The Graterford Road bridge is no longer categorized as structurally
deficient
following the improvements made under this $1.1 million project, and it is
no
longer posted with a weight restriction.

The Graterford Road bridge was closed in June 2014 due to severe structural

deterioration of the deck and beams. The bridge was posted with a 14-ton
weight
restriction at the time of the closure.

Built in 1957, the bridge is 218 feet long and 26 feet wide. The structure
carried 2,900 vehicles a day prior to its closure.

The rehabilitation of the Graterford Road bridge is part of PennDOT's $6.8
million project to rehabilitate three structurally-deficient bridges in
Bucks
and Montgomery counties, three structurally-deficient culverts in Bucks
County,
and to stabilize a stream embankment at a bridge in Bucks County.

This transportation improvement project is financed with 100 percent state
funds from Act 89, Pennsylvania's transportation plan.

All work on the project is scheduled to be completed in late 2018. The
general
contractor is Loftus Construction, Inc. of Cinnaminson, N.J.

Following the reopening of Graterford Road, PennDOT will close and begin
construction Monday, April 25, to rehabilitate the structurally-deficient
Route
73 (Skippack Pike) bridge over the Perkiomen Creek in Perkiomen and
Skippack
townships, and Schwenksville Borough, Montgomery County.

The Route 73 (Skippack Pike) bridge will be improved under a $1.1 million
project, which is also financed by Act 89, Pennsylvania's Transportation
plan.
Construction is scheduled to finish in December 2016.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by
