Bridge Work To Affect Ardmore Ave In Haverford For Next 2 Weeks

HAVERFORD TOWNSHIP, PA — Work to replace two bridges in Haverford Township will begin Monday and last for about two weeks, according to PennDOT.

The Wolf Administration announced work to replace two bridges that carry Ardmore Avenue over Cobbs Creek and SEPTA’s Norristown High-Speed Line in Haverford is scheduled to begin on Monday, March 25.

The bridges carry Ardmore Avenue over Cobbs Creek and SEPTA’s Norristown High-Speed Line.

Ardmore Avenue will be limited to a single lane from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, March 25, through Friday, April 5, between Haverford Road and Golf House Road for tree removal operations.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent and subject to change.

"PennDOT has worked with many stakeholders on this important bridge replacement project, including SEPTA and the township to ensure this project is delivered in a timely manner and with limited impacts to motorists and residents," said Governor Tom Wolf.

The purpose of the bridge replacement is to address existing deficiencies of the Ardmore Avenue bridges and provide a long-term transportation facility that is structurally sound, capable of handling the volume of expected traffic along this state highway and improve the safety of motorists and pedestrians.
