Tyburn Road Bridge Rehab Project Now Complete: PennDOT

PennDOT has completed construction on the $14.9 million project to rehabilitate the Tyburn Road bridge over the Amtrak rail lines in Falls Township.

“The rehabilitation and improvement of the Tyburn Road bridge certainly benefits the local community as the bridge will provide restriction-free travel for decades to come along this key corridor that serves as a direct connection
between U.S. 13 and local industrial parks,” PennDOT District Executive Kenneth M. McClain said.

PennDOT’s contactor restored the four-span, steel-I beam bridge by removing and replacing the bridge deck and 10 beams; stabilizing the embankments; and paving the roadway approaches.

Construction began in March 2013 and finished late last week.
