King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction will begin on the Route 926 (Street Road) bridge over Branch of White Clay Creek in West Marlborough Township, Chester County, under a project to repair six bridges in Bucks and Chester counties that sustained damage from the remnants of Hurricane Ida in September 2021.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
Local access will be maintained. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. The schedule is weather dependent.
Built in 1938, the 26-foot-wide structure carries an average of 1,612 vehicles per day.
This work is one of six structures that PennDOT's contractor will repair and reinforce the support systems and foundations of the structures to maintain them as safe and efficient crossings for the traveling public.
Structures completed under this project include:
- Gallows Hill Road over Hollow Run in Durham Township, Bucks County;
- Pennock Bridge Road over Branch of White Clay Creek, New London Township, Chester County;
- Yellow Springs Road over branch of Pine Creek in West Pikeland Township, Chester County; and
- Pikeland Road over Branch of Pickering Creek, Charlestown Township, Chester County.
Other structures under this rehabilitation project include:
- Route 232 (Second Street Pike) over Neshaminy Creek in Northampton and Wrightstown townships, Bucks County.
Loftus Construction, Inc. of Cinnaminson, NJ, is the general contractor on the $815,000 bridge rehabilitation project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.
