King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that the bridge carrying Allentown Road over Licking Creek in Milford Township was reopened today following railing repair by Bucks County Maintenance. The bridge had been closed since February 23, 2023, when the structure's railing was damaged in a vehicular crash.

A project to fully replace the bridge, and the bridge carrying Route 663 (John Fries Highway) over Licking Creek, is currently in design and scheduled for a construction bid opening in early spring 2024.

The two-span Allentown Road bridge was built in 1935. The concrete encased, rolled steel I-beam structure is 44 feet long, 24 feet wide, and carries approximately 4,368 vehicles per day.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 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 1,000 traffic cameras.
