Forty Foot Road Bridge Into Towamencin To Be Rehabilitated

TOWAMENCIN, PA — Construction crews will rehabilitate a bridge over a branch of Skippack Creek connecting Towamencin and Lower Salford townships, according to Gov. Tom Wolf's office.

The project is one of nine bridge rehabilitation projects in the Philadelphia area announced by the governor's office this week.

"Infrastructure investment is crucial, and bridges are a critical part of our network. Not only do they connect communities, but they support commerce and foster economic growth," Wolf said. "This bridge improvement project is our latest in the ongoing effort to address structurally-deficient bridges throughout the state."

The bridge over the branch of Skippack Creek is on Forty Foot Road.

Other bridges in Montgomery County which are slated for rehab include:

• Morwood Road culvert over Branch of Perkiomen Creek in Franconia Township
• Ridge Pike over Perkiomen Creek in Collegeville Borough and Lower Providence Township

J.D. Eckman is the contractor for the $7,407,987 project, financed with state funding.
