King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that structural repair with road closure is scheduled on the Covered Bridge Road bridge over Tohickon Creek in Haycock and East Rockhill townships, Bucks County.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Monday, January 30, through early March, a 24/7 road closure is scheduled on Covered Bridge Road between West Thatcher Road and Richlandtown Road. During the closure, motorists will be directed to use Richlandtown Road and West Thatcher Road.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. Local access will be maintained. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
