PENNDOT TO BEGIN REPAIRS ON CLOSED ROUTE 82 BRIDGE IN WEST BRANDYWINE TOWNSHIP, CHESTER COUNTY

Repairs are scheduled to
begin Thursday (April 23), weather permitting, on a closed bridge along
Route 82 (Manor Road) over the Indian Run Creek in West Brandywine
Township, Chester County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
(PennDOT) today announced.
The bridge walls and deck on the entire structure will be rebuilt with
concrete and then a stone façade will be added to maintain the bridge’s
historic character.
The Route 82 bridge repairs are being done by Loftus Construction of
Cinnaminson, New Jersey, under a $2.2 million dollar PennDOT contract
covering various bridge work in Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery
counties.
Route 82 through traffic is being detoured over Route 322 and Chestnut
Tree Road during the bridge closure. Local access on Route 82 is being
maintained up to the bridge. The bridge repairs will take approximately
six months to complete.
The bridge was closed to traffic last April 9 in the interest of public
safety, after a portion of the bridge wall was found to be damaged. A
20-foot wide by 2-1/2 foot high section of the east bridge wall had
fallen away from the bridge. The damage apparently was caused by
deterioration and weather.
The three-span stone arch structure was built in 1910. The bridge is 42
feet long and 22 feet wide, and carried approximately 6,600 vehicles
daily prior to its closure. It is located between Route 322 and Germany
Hollow Road in West Brandywine Township. |
