Project Overview
PennDOT is restoring, reconstructing and resurfacing three miles of County Line Road between Kulp Road and Route 611 (Easton Road) in Horsham Township, Montgomery County, and Warrington Township, Bucks County.
Under this $11.2 million contract, PennDOT’s contractor James D. Morrissey, Inc., of Philadelphia will make the following improvements:
• Widening County Line Road to provide a uniformed pattern of two 11-foot travel lanes and five-foot shoulders;
• Replacing the County Line Road bridge over an unnamed tributary to Little Neshaminy Creek;
• Upgrading traffic signals;
• Installing new guiderail;
• Performing drainage improvements;
• Installing ADA curb ramps; and
• Performing other miscellaneous operations to enhance safety and travel for the motoring public.
The purpose of this corridor improvement project is to address inconsistencies along the corridor, such as varying lane and shoulder widths, areas with poor sight distance, sporadic turn lanes, and areas of poor pavement in order to provide motorists with a roadway designed to modern travel and safety standards.
Traffic Impact
As part of this project, PennDOT will replace the deteriorating masonry arch bridge with a six-footTra-wide, single-span extension on County Line Road over an unnamed tributary to Little Neshaminy Creek. This bridge, which is posted with a 10-ton weight restriction, is located between the intersections of Fairmount Road and Park Road. The bridge was initially planned to close for replacement in 2023; however, due to damage the bridge sustained during Tropical Storm Ida last September, the department is accelerating the time frame for building the new replacement structure.

Another factor in the decision to advance the timing of this bridge replacement project to 2022 is the financial savings the department will realize by not investing funds to repair a bridge for only one more year of service until its replacement.
Beginning in the late spring (2022), County Line Road will be closed and detoured for construction to replace this bridge and to rebuild and raise the elevation of the roadway between Fairmount Avenue and Bradford Road to enhance safety and drainage in this area. The two operations will not occur simultaneously to facilitate residential access along County Line Road and Park Road.
The upcoming bridge and roadway operations will require closing County Line Road for one year. During its closure, County Line Road through traffic will be detoured over Lower State Road, Street Road and Route 611 (Easton Road).
The department will maintain access to residences and businesses along County Line Road within the construction zones, and advanced warning signs will inform motorists of the road closure and detour.
Construction on the entire project is expected to finish in summer 2026.
This corridor improvement project is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.
