PennDOT To Start St. David's Bridge Construction, Detour Plans Set

The bridge is scheduled to reopen in November 2013.

NEWTOWN SQUARE–The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced on Monday that construction will start Monday, July 16, on the $454,000 project to rehabilitate the structurally deficient stone arch bridge carrying St. David’s Road over Darby Creek in Newtown Township just over the border from Radnor Township.

During the time of construction, the St. David’s Road bridge will be closed and detoured during construction. The posted detour will use Darby Paoli Road, Goshen Road and Rt. 252/Newtown Street. The bridge is scheduled to reopen in November 2013.

In the next 17 months, PennDOT will restore the structurally deficient bridge by rebuilding its deteriorated bridge walls; reinforcing the deck; reinforcing the foundation underneath the support abutments; performing masonry repairs and installing new guide rail.
