Stakeholder Meeting for Bridge Repair Project Today

Limerick Patch received an anonymous tip over the weekend concerning a major stakeholder meeting that is being held at Royersford Borough Hall today at 1 p.m. The letter was sent to some local business owners last week.

Spring-Ford Stakeholders:

On Monday, July 11^th at 1:00 p.m. at Royersford Borough Hall (300 Main Street, Royersford), PennDOT will be holding a follow-up Stakeholder Meeting for the Royersford-Spring City Bridge Repair Project.

As many of you recall, we held a similar meeting in February 2011. During that meeting, PennDOT and JD Eckman discussed their planned repairs to the bridge. However, since that meeting preliminary repair work has discovered that the deck of the bridge was in far worse shape than anticipated. As a result, PennDOT has had to change their planned rehabilitation of the bridge. It is now necessary to shut down and detour the bridge for a period of approximately eight weeks, beginning in mid-July, in order to accommodate the additional repairs to the deck of the bridge.

PennDOT representatives will be presenting their new plan for completion of this project, providing a timeline for the repairs, and answering any questions/concerns from stakeholders in the Spring-Ford area.

Feel free to contact me directly with any questions that you may have about this meeting. I would strongly advise for those who are able to attend, or send a representative from your organization.

Patch will be at the meeting and provide you with updates later today.
