Steel Deliveries Could Affect Main Line Area Traffic Starting Saturday

As construction of the Bryn Mawr Hospital Pavilion Project is underway, traffic in the Main Line area could be affected due to continuing work.

Radnor Township said steel erection on the hospital's improvement project will begin soon, which means motorists in the area should expect to see increased tractor trailer traffic.

Trucks will be delivering steel to the construction site several times a day.

The township said drivers should plan for the high truck traffic on or near County Line/Hvaerford Road beginning Saturday, Jan. 7.

Steel installation will begin the week of Jan. 16 and continue through fall and winter 2017, the township said.

The project broke ground in May and the patient pavilion will be about 200,00 square feet.

Other improvements coming to the hospital are

• All private patient rooms
• Two new medical/surgical telemetry units and a new intensive care unit.
• Twelve all new operating rooms in a state-of-the-art surgical suite.
• Renovated maternity and delivery rooms.

The $200 million project is expected to "enhance the community for future generations," the hospital said.
