    Beam Placement Scheduled on Warminster Road Bridge over Pennypack Creek in Montgomery County

    September 21, 2023

    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that beam placement is scheduled on a project to replace the Warminster Road bridge over Pennypack Creek in Upper Moreland Township and Hatboro Borough, Montgomery County.

    Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

    Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. The schedule is weather dependent.

    Under this contract, PennDOT's contractor will replace the 136-year-old concrete encased steel beam structure with a prestressed concrete box beam bridge that will be 110 feet long and 38 feet wide. The new bridge will allow for wider lanes and shoulders to improve traffic safety for the estimated 11,783 motorists who travel over the structure daily.

    Other improvements under this project include constructing a five-foot wide sidewalk for pedestrians; installing new signing, pavement markings, guiderail, and a pedestrian rapid flashing beacon signal on the south approach; and resurfacing the approach roadways.


    Allen Myers, LP of Worcester, PA is the general contractor on the $3,830,278 project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds. 

    Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
