    This project is the replacement of the existing bridge that carries Route 82 (Doe Run Road) over Buck Run in West Marlborough and East Fallowfield Townships, Chester County. The existing bridge is a two-span reinforced concrete tee-beam bridge that was built in 1926. The bridge spans Buck Run and its floodplain. The bridge is currently posted with a 24-ton weight restriction except for 34-ton combination vehicles. The anticipated structure will be a single-span prestressed concrete box beam bridge with two lanes and shoulders. An existing concrete cross pipe south of the bridge will be replaced with a precast concrete box culvert. The project also includes approach roadway reconstruction and realignment.

    A single lane of traffic on Doe Run Road will be maintained through the project area during construction utilizing a temporary traffic signal. Driveway access will be maintained at all times. The duration of construction is anticipated to be approximately 10 months.
