(Editor's note: the following is a verbatim press release from the office of Pennsylvania State Senator Bob Mensch.)
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)
today reopened the bridge carrying Old Forty Foot Road over Skippack Creek in
Towamencin Township, following a three-week closure for bridge reconstruction.
Following its closure in October 2018 for a bridge replacement project, the structure reopened in January 2019. PennDOT’s contractor replaced the existing bridge with a two-span, pre-stressed, concrete spread box beam bridge.
The structure is 124 feet long, 35 feet wide and carries an average of 5,845 vehicles a day.
H&K Group of Skippack, Montgomery County, was the general contractor on the $1,479,567 bridge improvement project.
