    ​Tilden Road Bridge over Unnamed Tributary to Irish Creek

    Project Status

    Step 3 of 4

    Construction

    Next Step:  Completed

    Project Overview

    County: Berks
    Municipality: Centre Township
    State Route: 4015
    Local Name: Tilden Road
    Project Type: Bridge Replacement
    Proposed Construction End: November 2025
    Last Updated: September 2025

    This project is replacing the Route 4015/Tilden Road Bridge over an unnamed tributary to Irish Creek in Centre Township, Berks County. Tilden Road currently has an average daily traffic volume of 387 vehicles.

    The existing structure is a 13-foot single span concrete encased steel I-beam bridge, that was constructed in 1923. The superstructure sits on concrete abutments and is rated in poor condition, and the substructure is rated in poor condition according to the latest NBIS inspection. The bridge has a cast-in-place concrete curb on the left side and the right side of the deck. The bridge is 16'-0" wide measured curb-to-curb and carries one lane of traffic. It is not currently posted for live load.

    The approach roadway width varies on either side of the bridge, but generally is wider than the rail-to-rail opening on the bridge. The area surrounding the bridge is predominately woodland and field. The legal right-of-way width along SR 4015 is 25'-0" throughout the project area apart from a small section over the single-lane structure where the legal right-of-way reduces to 20'-0" and then quickly returns to the 25'-0" width.

    Detour Information

    A detour map has been provided, which shows a proposed detour which utilizes Shartlesville Road, Wolf Creek Road, and North Boundary Road. Access to driveways within the project limits will be maintained at all times during construction.
