PennDOT to Begin Construction on Trevose Road Bridge Rehabilitation Project

PennDOT has announced that construction will begin on Monday, June 22, on a project to rehabilitate the bridge that carries Trevose Road over Poquessing Creek in Lower Southampton Township.

Under this project, a Latex Modified Concrete overlay will be applied to the existing 56-year-old single-span bridge.  Deck joints will be resealed or replaced, substructure cracks will be repaired, and concrete repairs to the underside of the bridge deck will take place.  Small repairs will be made to the barrier and the missing metal bridge railing on top of the concrete barrier will be replaced.  Overgrown vegetation will be cleared from the approaches and rock protection will be placed at the east abutment wingwalls to mitigate erosion.

Beginning on Monday, June 22, through Monday, July 20, Trevose Road will be closed and detoured 24/7.  During the closure, motorists will be directed to use Route 132 (Street Road), Philmont Avenue, and Route 532 (Bustleton Pike).

Local access will be maintained at all times.  Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area or along the detour route, as backups and delays are expected.  All scheduled activities are weather-dependent.

Motorists can check on major roadways 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 1,200 traffic cameras.
