Brownsville Road Bridge Project To Last Over A Year
LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —A $12.1 million project to replace the Brownsville Road bridge over Neshaminy Creek will begin at the end of the month, PennDOT said.The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said that construction will begin on March 31 to replace the bridge in Lower Southampton and Middletown townships.The work is expected to run through the fall of 2026, PennDOT said.During the construction, Brownsville Road will be closed 24/7 between Creek Road and Periwinkle Avenue.Drivers will be directed to use Brownsville Road, Bristol Road, (Route 213) Bridgeton Pike/West Maple Avenue, and Old Lincoln Highway.PennDOT’s contractor will replace the existing 68-year-old concrete box beam bridge. The new structure, measuring 278 feet long and 41.375 feet wide, will be about 24 feet longer and 9.875 feet wider than the existing bridge.The vertical alignment will also be raised over Neshaminy Creek to provide an adequate waterway opening and to slightly improve the existing sight distance on both approaches to the bridge. In addition, the new structure’s design allows for one less pier than the existing structure to improve the flow under the bridge.Other construction includes widening shoulders to improve the intersection sight distance, improving stormwater management, resurfacing the approach roadway, and installing partially grouted riprap for scour protection at the piers and abutments.Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone. 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.For more information, please visit the Brownsville Road Bridge Replacement over Neshaminy Creek project webpage.Motorists can check conditions on major roadways including color-coded winter conditions, by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.For a complete list of construction projects impacting state-owned highways in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties, visit the District 6 Traffic Bulletin. projects at www.projects.penndot.gov.The article Brownsville Road Bridge Project To Last Over A Year appeared first on Lower Southampton, PA Patch.
