Bridge Work Closing Ardmore Ave In Haverford Through June 2020

HAVERFORD TOWNSHIP, PA — Ardmore Avenue in Haverford Township is scheduled to close for about a year to accommodate a PennDOT bridge replacement project on the Cobbs Creek and the Norristown High-Speed Line bridges, officials said.

According to PennDOT, the road will close July 15 through June 2020 for the work.

The affected stretch of the road is between Haverford and Golf House roads.

During the full closure, Ardmore Avenue motorists will be detoured over Darby Road, College Avenue and Haverford Road.

Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur.

Ardmore Avenue carries an annual average daily traffic volume of 11,700.

This transportation improvement project is driven by the need to replace both bridges that are rated in poor condition and improvements are needed to enhance the safety and operations of the two bridges because of their age, state of deterioration and the lack of adequate shoulders and approaches to the structures.

The bridge over Cobbs Creek was built in 1935, and the structure over SEPTA tracks dates back to 1927, according to PennDOT.
