    South Creek Road Bridge Replacement

    Project Overview

    County: Delaware, Chester
    State Route: 3100, 3101
    Local Name: S Creek Road
    Project Type: Bridge Reconstruction
    Last Updated: November 2025

    The project includes the replacement of the existing bridge that carries two lanes of South Creek Road over Brandywine Creek and the East Penn Railroad.  The project includes the replacement of the existing bridge, approach roadway reconstruction, guide rail, and signing/pavement marking upgrades.

    The bridge is located on the municipal boundary between Pennsbury Township, Chester County, and Chadds Ford Township, Delaware County.  The project location is approximately 1.3 miles north of the Pennsylvania State Border with Delaware. The northern project limit is approximately 1.5 miles south of the South Creek Road intersection with U.S. 1.

    The existing bridge is a six-span reinforced concrete spandrel arch bridge that was built in 1925.  The bridge’s southernmost span crosses over a single track of the East Penn Railroad.  The remaining spans cross over Brandywine Creek and its floodplain.  The bridge is currently posted with a 12-ton weight restriction and no trucks with trailers over 45 feet in length, except for local deliveries. The proposed structure will be a six-span concrete arch bridge with two lanes and shoulders. The structure type and alignment, as well as details regarding the structure’s appearance, were selected through an Alternatives Analysis of February 2017 and coordination with consulting parties that occurred from mid-2015 through late-2019.

    S. Creek Road will be closed to traffic in the vicinity of the bridge, and the traffic detoured, for the duration of construction (approximately 20 months).

    Construction Update

    On Friday, November 14, PennDOT completed construction on the $15.4 million project to replace the bridge that carries South Creek Road (Route 100) over the East Penn Railroad and Brandywine Creek in Pennsbury Township, Chester County, and Chadds Ford Township, Delaware County.

    The bridge had been closed since April 1, 2024, to allow PennDOT’s contractor to replace the existing 27-foot-wide, 99-year-old structure with a new, two-lane, slightly wider, six-span pre-cast reinforced concrete arch bridge.

    The project completion press release and bridge photo can be found under the Resources section on this page.
