    • Perform concrete repairs to the spandrel walls, wingwalls, and abutments.
    • Improve off-bridge drainage behind the wingwalls.

    • Remove deposits and timber debris in the channels
    • Upgrade guide rail to current MASH (safety?) standards
    • Provide a sidewalk connection from the SEPTA Township Line Road Station to Farwood Road
    • Repave the roadway

    No detour will be required. Traffic restrictions will be single lane closures with possible lane shifts.
