Attention Upper Frederick Township residents and commuters: Get ready to adjust your travel plans quickly. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced a virtual public meeting on February 6th to discuss replacing the Perkiomenville Road Bridge over Scioto Creek. The session will provide insight into the upcoming construction efforts. According to information released by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the new bridge is poised to maintain a horizontal alignment akin to the current structure. It will feature two 11-foot lanes flanked by two 4-foot shoulders.
Anticipated enhancements extend to new guide rails, end treatments, and revamped approach pavement and resurfacing. Signage and pavement markings will also get a refresh. The project intends to significantly improve drainage near the bridge to help mitigate erosion issues. These details were encapsulated in a public statement on PennDOT's website, encouraging stakeholders to join the virtual meeting at 7 PM by clicking the provided Microsoft Live Teams link.
For those planning to attend the virtual gathering, please note the requirement for internet access via a computer or mobile device. Additionally, those with special needs or who require special assistance are encouraged to contact PennDOT Project Manager Emma Richey. Feedback and inquiries about the project can still be submitted through the online comment form on the Perkiomenville Road Bridge Replacement project page.
