    Valley Park Road over Anderson Brook Bridge Replacement

    Project Overview

    County: Chester
    Municipality: Schuylkill Township
    State Route: 1036
    Local Name: Valley Park Road
    Project Type: Bridge Replacement
    Last Updated: June 2025

    On September 1, 2021, the existing bridge experienced severe storm damage as a result of flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Ida.  The existing bridge is a 15-foot long, two-lane, single-span stone masonry arch and concrete-encased steel I-beams structure with a bituminous wearing surface.  This corridor of roadway is currently classified as an urban major collector.

    Storm damage included undermining of the far abutment. Additional damage to the near abutment and the arch requires this structure to be a replacement. Temporary repairs have been made to the streambed to keep the roadway open.

    The proposed scope of work includes:

    • The existing bridge will be replaced.
    • The replacement bridge will be a Precast Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert.
    • The proposed span length will be similar to the existing span length.
    • The proposed curb-to-curb width is 32 feet.
    • A minimal approach to roadway work is anticipated.
    • The existing horizontal alignment of Valley Park Road will be maintained.
    • The vertical profile will be lowered to remove the hump on the road at the structure.
    • Utility poles will likely need to be relocated on the south side of the roadway to facilitate construction.
    • There is no existing guide rail present. The approach guide rail along Valley Park Road will be placed and painted brown.

    Construction

    Construction will begin on Monday, June 23, on the $1.4 million project to replace the bridge that carries Valley Park Road over Anderson Brook in Schuylkill Township, Chester County.

    Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

    Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

    Lobar Site Development Corporation of Dillsburg, Pa., is the general contractor on this project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
