Rehabilitation
2/2/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced
that
daytime lane restrictions are scheduled on northbound and southbound U.S. 1
at
the Oxford Valley Road Interchange in Falls and Middletown townships, Bucks
County, from Monday, February 6, through Friday, February 10, from 10:00 AM
to
3:00 PM, for the rehabilitation of the Oxford Valley Road overpass.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the
construction area because slowdowns may occur. The work schedule is weather
dependent.
Crews began construction on November 14, 2016 to rehabilitate the Oxford
Valley
Road bridge. The bridge remains open to traffic while the contractor
repairs
structural damage sustained when the bridge was struck by an oversized
truck on
June 29, 2015. Crews will replace two steel beams and repair three steel
beams.
Construction on the bridge is scheduled to finish in June 2017.
The three-span, steel-I beam bridge was built in 1972. It is 167 feet long
and
90 feet wide. The bridge is not structurally deficient or posted with a
weight
limit. The structure carries 31,000 vehicles a day.
The work is part of PennDOT's $11,766,000 project to replace six
structurally
deficient culverts in Bucks, Chester and Delaware counties, and
rehabilitate
four structurally deficient bridges in Bucks, Chester, Montgomery, and
Philadelphia counties.
Under this project, the contractor also will replace deteriorated culverts
at
the following locations: State Road bridge over a branch of Cooks Creek in
Springfield Township, Bucks County; Rocky Ridge Road over a branch of
Tohickon
Creek, Richland Township, Bucks County; White Horse Road over a branch of
Pickering Creek in Schuylkill Township, Chester County; Route 282 (Creek
Road)
over a branch of Brandywine Creek in East Brandywine Township, Chester
County;
and MacDade Boulevard over the Muckinipattis Creek in Glenolden Borough,
Delaware County.
PennDOT is also currently rehabilitating the Edenton Road bridge over
Rattlesnake Run in Upper Oxford Township, Chester County; Route 663
(Layfield
Road) bridge over the Perkiomen Creek in Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery
County; and Route 82 (Doe Run Road) in East Fallowfield Township, Chester
County.
In addition, the contract includes concrete and sub-structure repairs on
the
Torresdale Avenue bridge over Academy Road in Philadelphia.
Loftus Construction, Inc. of Cinnaminson, N.J., is the general contractor
on
this bridge improvement contract that is financed with 100 percent state
funds
through Act 89, Pennsylvania's transportation plan.
All work on the project is expected to be completed in August 2018.
