PennDOT announces bridge closure on Newportville Road in Bristol Township
PennDOT has announced that Newportville Road in Bristol Township will be closed and detoured beginning Sept. 12, to allow for a planned six-month PennDOT bridge repair project.
A small single-span stone bridge, built in 1869 and located between Parkview Avenue and Hazel Avenue has been designated "structurally deficient." The bridge spans a branch of the Neshaminy Creek. Repairs include fixing the side walls, the bridge deck, and adding new parapets, guiderails and pavement.
PennDOT estimates that 8,600+ cars per day travel over the single span bridge, meaning that the planned detour will mean longer commutes for residents and commuters. However, local access will be maintained up to the point of construction. Traffic will be detoured over Route 13, Bensalem Boulevard and New Falls Road.
Plan now for the detour to save commuting time.
