King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction has been completed a month ahead of schedule on the project to replace the bridge that carries Black Rock Road over Crossmans Run in Upper Providence Township, Montgomery County. The bridge and roadway were reopened at 2:30 PM today.
The bridge had been closed since May 12, to allow PennDOT’s contractor to replace the 100-year-old, single-span structure which had been listed in poor condition.
The Black Rock Road bridge is 12 feet long, 22 feet wide, and carries approximately 7,796 vehicles per day.
This bridge replacement is part of a $9.5 million project to replace or rehabilitate several structures across the five-county Philadelphia region.
Loftus Construction, Inc. of King of Prussia, PA, is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.
