King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that the bridge carrying Evansburg Road over Shady Brook Run in Skippack Township, Montgomery County, was reopened to traffic this morning following repair.
Evansburg Road had been closed since Wednesday, April 8, between Hidden Forest Drive and Ivy Lane after severe bridge scour was discovered during a recent inspection.
The single-span, arch deck bridge was built in 1930 and reconstructed in 1971. The structure is 15-feet-long, 21.5-feet-wide, and carries approximately 3,247 vehicles per day.
