    PennDOT to Host Virtual Public Meeting for Pickering Dam Road Bridge Replacement Project in Charlestown Township

    March 27, 2025

    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to attend a live virtual meeting on Thursday, April 10, for the upcoming project to replace the bridge that carries Pickering Dam Road over a branch of Pickering Creek in Charlestown Township, Chester County.

    This project involves replacing the existing bridge with a slightly wider structure; resurfacing the bridge approaches; improving drainage; and installing new guiderail.

    Built in 1918, the single-span Pickering Dam Road bridge is 21 feet long, 24 feet wide, and carries an average of 98 vehicles per day. The bridge is currently listed in poor condition.

    As part of PennDOT's public outreach program, the department encourages the public to attend the live virtual meeting on Thursday, April 10, beginning at 7:00 PM, by clicking on this Microsoft Live Teams meeting link prior to the presentation start time. The department’s design team will deliver a project presentation before opening the meeting to questions using the platform’s Q&A feature.

    Please note that internet access or a computer or mobile device are required to view the virtual meeting. Anyone with special needs or requiring special aid is requested to contact PennDOT Design Project Manager Marius Farcas.

    For more information on the project, please visit the Pickering Dam Road Bridge Replacement webpage. The public can also provide feedback on the project using the online comment form.
