King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today paving repair will occur next week on northbound South Creek Road under the $15.4 million project to replace the South Creek Road Bridge over the East Penn Railroad and Brandywine Creek in Pennsbury Township, Chester County and Chadds Ford Township, Delaware County.
Weather permitting, motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Thursday, March 26, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, a lane closure with flagging will be in place through the intersection of northbound South Creek Road and Rocky Hill Road.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur.
The South Creek Road bridge reopened to traffic on Friday, November 14, following the completion of the project to replace the existing 27-foot-wide structure with a new, two-lane, slightly wider, six-span pre-cast reinforced concrete arch bridge.
In addition, an open steel bridge railing with concrete pilasters at the piers was installed to allow for scenic viewing. Other features include recessed panels and new signage, plaques, and delineators.
