PennDOT to Begin Construction on Meetinghouse Road Bridge Rehabilitation Project in Upper Chichester Township

King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction will begin on Monday, November 17, on a project to rehabilitate the bridge that carries Meetinghouse Road over a branch of Naaman Creek in Upper Chichester Township, Delaware County.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

Local access will be maintained. Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

The single span, one-lane, Meetinghouse Road bridge over Naaman Creek was built in 1916 and is listed in poor condition. The bridge is 63 feet long, 24 feet wide and carries almost 10,000 vehicles per day.

This repair work 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.
