King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that U.S. 1 North (Kennett Oxford Bypass) and Route 10 (Limestone Road) have reopened in Lower Oxford Township, Chester County, following the emergency bridge repair from a bridge strike.
U.S. 1 North (Kennett Oxford Bypass) and Route 10 (Limestone Road) were closed on Friday morning, November 28, after a large truck struck the overhead bridge carrying Route 10 (Limestone Road) over U.S. 1 (Kennett Oxford Bypass).
PennDOT’s contractor, J.D. Eckman, Inc., worked quickly over the weekend to replace the bridge beam and concrete barrier before restriping the bridge and reopening both highways.
Built in 1968, the 150-foot-long, 45-foot-wide, two-span, prestressed concrete I-beam Route 10 bridge carries approximately 9,000 vehicles per day. U.S. 1 North (Kennett Oxford Bypass) in this section carries approximately 8,600 vehicles per day.
