King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction is completed on a project to rehabilitate the bridge that carries Township Line Road over Lodal Creek in Limerick and Perkiomen townships, Montgomery County. The bridge and roadway were reopened to traffic this afternoon.
Under this project, PennDOT’s contractor replaced the superstructure, installed a reinforced concrete deck with new beams, barriers, and guiderail, and resurfaced the roadway approaches.
The 76-year-old, single-span structure, is 33 feet long, 27 feet wide, and carries more than 12,600 vehicles per day.
The bridge repair is part of a $16.2 million PennDOT project to rehabilitate 14 bridges in Bucks, Chester, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties.
Loftus Construction, Inc. of King of Prussia, PA, is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.
