Butler Avenue Bridge Now Open

NEW BRITAIN TOWNSHIP, PA — The bridge carrying Butler Avenue over Neshaminy Creek in New Britain Township has reopened.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced the bridge opened Wednesday, following the completion of a rehabilitation project.

PennDOT’s contractor replaced the existing structure with a concrete box culvert, milled and paved the roadway, installed impact attenuators, and replaced the guiderail.

Built in 1939 and reconstructed in 1963, the single-span bridge is 18 feet long and 38 feet wide. It carries an average of 12,359 vehicles a day.
