Ridge Pike Bridge Over Perkiomen Creek To Be Rehabilitated

COLLEGEVILLE, PA — Construction crews will rehabilitate a Ridge Pike bridge over Perkiomen Creek in Collegeville, according to Gov. 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," Governor Tom Wolf said. “This bridge improvement project is our latest in the ongoing effort to address structurally-deficient bridges throughout the state."

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

• Morwood Road culvert over Branch of Perkiomen Creek in Franconia Township
• Forty Foot Road over a branch of Skippack Creek connecting Lower Salford and Towamencin

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