    Route 401 (​​Conestoga Road) over Pickering Creek Bridge Replacement Project

    Project Overview

    County: Chester
    Municipality: West Pikeland Township
    State Route: 401
    Local Name: Conestoga Road
    Project Type: Bridge Replacement
    Last Updated: August 2025

    This project is for the replacement of the bridge that carries Conestoga Road (Route 401) over Pickering Creek in West Pikeland Township, Chester County.  The existing bridge is a single-span reinforced concrete T-beam bridge that was constructed in 1938.  The bridge is posted with weight restrictions and is in overall poor condition.

    The proposed construction includes replacing the existing bridge with a slightly longer and wider bridge on the same general alignment as the existing bridge.   Related construction includes replacing guide rail and end treatments; resurfacing the pavement on the bridge approaches, and signing and pavement marking installation.
