King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to attend a live virtual public meeting on Wednesday, November 1, for the project to replace the existing Route 82 (Doe Run Road) bridge over Buck Run in East Fallowfield and West Marlborough townships, Chester County.

The proposed replacement structure will be a single-span, prestressed, concrete box beam bridge with two lanes and shoulders. An existing concrete cross pipe south of the bridge will be replaced with a precast concrete box culvert.  The project also includes approach roadway reconstruction and realignment.

The existing two-span bridge is currently posted with a 24-ton weight restriction except for 34-tons for combination vehicles. The bridge spans Buck Run and its floodplain. 

As part of PennDOT's public outreach program, the department encourages the public to attend the live virtual public meeting on Wednesday, November 1, beginning at 7:00 PM, by clicking on this Microsoft Live Teams meeting link prior to the presentation start time. The department's design team will deliver a project presentation before opening the meeting to questions using the platform's Q&A feature.

Please note that internet access, a computer or mobile device, and a valid email address are required to view the virtual meeting. Anyone with special needs or requiring special aid is requested to contact PennDOT Project Manager Nathan Parrish at 610-757-1881 or the Design Project Manager Joe O'Neil at 717-691-2522.
