Route 611 (Old York Road) Nighttime Restrictions Scheduled Next Week for
Bridge Work in Abington Township, Montgomery County
3/1/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA
Nighttime lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 611 (Old York Road)
between
Jericho Road and Hamilton Avenue in Abington Township, Montgomery County,
on
Sunday, March 5, through Saturday, March 11, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM, for
bridge work, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)
announced
today. The work schedule is dependent on the weather.
This operation is part of a $3.6 million project to rehabilitate the
structurally deficient bridge carrying Edge Hill Road over Route 611 (Old
York
Road). Due to nature of the bridge repairs and to expedite the project,
Edge
Hill Road has been closed and detoured between Ferndale Avenue and Hamilton
Avenue through the completion of construction scheduled in late fall 2017.
Edge Hill Road passenger vehicles are being detoured over Susquehanna Road,
Fitzwatertown Road and Old Welsh Road. Trucks are being directed over
Jenkintown Road, Fitzwatertown Road and Old Welsh Road. Pedestrian traffic
will
be maintained for the duration of construction and local vehicular access
will
be maintained up to the construction area.
Construction on the Edge Hill Road bridge will entail replacing the
existing
superstructure which includes the concrete deck slab. Crews will also
repair
the support abutments, install new sidewalks and make repairs to the
existing
pedestrian stairways.
The one-span, structurally-deficient, steel girder bridge was built in
1947. It
is 115 feet long and 37 feet wide. The structure is posted with a weight
limit
of 31 tons and a combination weight limit of 35 tons. The bridge carries an
average of 7,138 vehicles a day.
J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on
the
$3,672,192 project which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced
that
Brandywine Creek Road will be closed between Green Valley Road and Powell
Road
in Newlin Township, Chester County, tomorrow March 2, from 7:00 AM to 3:00
PM,
for the installation of concrete barrier to close this section of the road
to
westbound traffic.
During the operation, Brandywine Creek Road through traffic will be
detoured
over Strasburg Road and Mortonville Road. Local access will be maintained
up to
the construction zone.
Once the concrete barrier is installed, Brandywine Creek Road will remain
closed indefinitely to westbound traffic, which will continue to follow the
posted detour. Brandywine Creek Road will remain open to eastbound
travelers.
The one-way pattern is being implemented due to the instability of the
slope
along Brandywine Creek Road. PennDOT is preliminarily designing a project
to
stabilize the slope.
Motorists should reduce their speeds whenever traveling through the work
zone.

U.S. 1 (City Avenue) Lane Closures Next Week for Safety Improvement Project in Philadelphia and Montgomery County

3/1/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA
Right lane closures are scheduled on northbound and southbound U.S. 1 (City
Avenue) between Bryn Mawr Avenue and Kings Grant Drive in Philadelphia and
Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, on Monday, March 6, through
Friday,
March 10, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for traffic signal upgrades and curb
ramp
installations related to a $2.9 million safety improvement project, the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work
area.
The contractor's schedule is dependent on the weather.
The work is part of a project to improve travel and safety on a three-mile
section of U.S. 1 (City Avenue) between Interstate 76 and U.S. 30
(Lancaster
Avenue), by installing adaptive traffic signals to improve traffic flow and
pedestrian safety along the corridor. The project is scheduled to finish in
November 2017.
PennDOT's contractor will upgrade and fully modernize 17 signalized
intersections along U.S. 1 (City Avenue) with a new wireless communication
system to better accommodate traffic flow. The improvements also include
the
installation of new pedestrian push buttons, traffic signal heads, pavement
markings, overhead street signs, and 74 new ADA curb ramps.
In addition to installing adaptive traffic signals, PennDOT's contractor
will
perform various other roadway improvements on U.S. 1 (City Avenue),
including a
new left turn and lane configurations at Cardinal Avenue to improve traffic
and
safety at that intersection.
Armour & Sons Electric Inc., of Langhorne, Bucks County, is the general
contractor on the $2,895,674 project, which is financed with 100 percent
federal funds.
The City Avenue Special Services District was responsible for initiating
this
transportation improvement project and advancing it by obtaining a
Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality grant for the acquisition and installation of
new
traffic-adaptive signal equipment, and financing the engineering design of
the
new signal system.
