King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to the public meetings for a project to replace the bridge that carries Edison Furlong Road over Pebble Creek in Buckingham and Doylestown townships, Bucks County. The public meetings will be hosted by the municipalities during their regularly schedule Supervisor meetings.
An in-person public meeting for the Edison Furlong Road Bridge Replacement Project will be held:
Date: March 17, 2026
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: Doylestown Township Building
425 Wells Road, Doylestown, PA 18901
AND
Date: March 25, 2026
Time: 6:30 PM
Location: Buckingham Township Building
4613 Hughesian Drive, Buckingham, PA 18912
Pre-registration is not required, and attendees will have an opportunity to participate in survey questions and provide input at the end of the meeting.
The bridge is located on Edison Furlong Road between the intersections with Pebble Hill Road and Route 263.
The Edison Furlong Road Bridge Replacement Project will include the replacement of Edison Furlong Road over Pebble Creek. The existing bridge will be replaced on the same alignment with a precast box culvert. The proposed construction will provide two, 11-foot travel lanes with 5-foot shoulders.
To meet the hydraulic needs in the area, the roadway profile will be raised about two feet at the structure.
Construction on this project is expected to begin in 2028.
A detour will be required during construction and is expected to be in place for approximately three months. The proposed six-mile detour route will be posted using Route 611, U.S. 202, Route 313, and Route 263.
The existing concrete slab bridge was built in 1925. It is listed in fair condition. Approximately 7,097 vehicles use the bridge each day.
The public will also be able to view the plans for the Edison Furlong Road Bridge Replacement Project online (coming soon). The project page will include digital copies of the project handout, a self-guide presentation, proposed plans, and a comment form.
Those unable to access the information online or attend the meeting may give feedback by contacting PennDOT Project Manager Brian Rasiul at c-brrasiul@pa.gov or 610-422-2378.
The purpose of the in-person meetings and project webpage is to introduce the project and receive public input regarding any questions or concerns with the project. It is also an opportunity for the public to review and comment on the project’s potential effect upon Cultural Resources pursuant to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s 36 CFR Part 800 regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
