Route 926 (Street Road) Lane Restrictions Scheduled Next Week for Bridge Replacement Project in Chester County

Route 926 (Street Road) Lane Restrictions Scheduled Next Week for Bridge
Replacement Project in Chester County

3/29/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 926 (Street Road) at Pocopson Road
in
Pocopson Township, Chester County, on Monday, April 3, through Friday,
April 7,
from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for curb improvements related to an $8.6 million
project to replace the structurally-deficient Route 926 (Street Road)
bridge
over the Brandywine Creek in Birmingham and Pocopson townships, the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today. The
new
bridge is scheduled to reopen by September 1, 2017.

PennDOT is improving Route 926 (Street Road) by replacing the 79-year-old
bridge with a new three-span structure built at a higher elevation;
rebuilding
and raising 1,700 feet of the roadway approaches to make them less prone to

flooding; replacing the nearby culvert over Radley Run with an 84-foot twin

arch concrete culvert; and realigning 800 feet of Creek Road at its
northern
intersection with Route 926 (Street Road).

The new, aesthetically-designed bridge will be built to resemble the
current
structure and have stone form liners covering the piers so they resemble
the
existing piers. The new structure also will include an open, higher
railing.

Separate detours are in use during construction for the closures of Route
926
(Street Road) and Creek Road. Motorists using Route 926 (Street Road) will
be
detoured over U.S. 202, U.S. 1, and Route 52 (Lenape Road). Creek Road will

close in June 2017 and motorists will be detoured over U.S. 1 and Route 52
(Lenape Road).

Following the reopening of Route 926 (Street Road), there will be one
weekend
in spring 2018 when Route 926 (Street Road) will close for the final
resurfacing of the new bridge and culvert.

The existing four-span bridge was built in 1937 and rehabilitated in 1974.
The
steel I-beam structure is 190 feet long and 26 feet wide. The bridge, which
is
posted with a weight restriction of 26 tons and 33 tons for combination
loads,
carries approximately 13,200 vehicles a day.

To improve travel through the intersection of Route 52 (Lenape Road) and
Pocopson Road/West Creek Road, PennDOT's contractor activated a new traffic

signal that includes a Flashing Yellow Arrow signal for left turns from
Route
52 (Lenape Road) to Pocopson Road/West Chester Road, in addition to the
standard red, yellow and green lights. This Flashing Yellow Arrow signal is
the
first to operate in the Philadelphia region.

More information on the Flashing Yellow Arrow signals and other traffic
signal
initiatives is available at www.penndot.gov in the Traffic Signals,
Management
section of "Travel in PA".

Clearwater Construction Inc., of Mercer, Pa., is the general contractor on
the
$8,614,000 project financed with 100 percent state funds.

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

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.
