    Roadway Reconstruction to Close Ridley Avenue Intersection for Several Months in Ridley Park Borough

    April 23, 2025

    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that roadway reconstruction will begin in early May at the Ridley Avenue and Ward Avenue Intersection under a $9.8 million project to replace the Sellers Avenue bridge superstructure over Amtrack in Ridley Park Borough, Delaware County.

    Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

    During the closure, Ridley Avenue and Ward Avenue motorists will be directed to follow the posted detour routes.

    Local access will be maintained for residents and businesses. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

    Under this project, PennDOT’s contractor will remove and replace the Sellers Avenue bridge superstructure with a 75-foot-long concrete box beam bridge with two 12-foot travel lanes and sidewalks on both sides. New concrete material will be placed behind the existing stone masonry abutments to increase stability. 

    Additional roadway improvements will also take place on the approach roads to the bridge on Ridley Avenue, Sellers Avenue/Ward Avenue, and Hinkley Avenue. The improvements include upgrading the drainage system; performing full-depth pavement reconstruction; hardscaping; landscaping; and installing ADA curb ramps, sidewalks, and new traffic signals.

    For more information, visit the Sellers Avenue Bridge Reconstruction Project webpage.
