PennDOT Hopes To Reopen Main Street Bridge By Late June

LIMERICK, PA -- Officials are hopeful that the Main Street-Linfield Bridge can be reopened by late June.

Construction to repair the bridge, which runs over the Norfolk Southern Railroad, began back on Feb. 18.

The bridge, which was built in 1968, requires a new parapet and bridge deck, as well as sidewalk and protective fencing. Crews will also repair the abutment and pave approaches to the bridge.

Main Street is closed and is being detoured between Reformed Road and Pennhurst Road.

Motorists are being directed toward Linfield Road, Schuylkill Road, Bridge Street, and Lewis Road, officials said.

Local access remains available up to the construction point.
