    Cheyney Road over Branch of Chester Creek Bridge Replacement

    Project Overview

    County: Delaware
    Municipality: Thornbury Township
    State Route: 4015
    Local Name: Cheyney Road
    Project Type: Bridge Replacement
    Last Updated: October 2025

    The existing structure, built in 1931, consists of a reinforced concrete slab with a concrete abutment and carries Cheyney Road over a branch of the Chester Creek in Thornbury Township, Delaware County. The proposed project involves replacing the current structure with a reinforced concrete box culvert. The new culvert will fit within approximately the same footprint as the existing one, but it will be widened asymmetrically (toward the downstream side) to include two 4-foot shoulders.

    To connect the new structure to the existing approach roadway, about 284 feet of roadway reconstruction is planned on each approach.

    During construction, existing guide rail widths will be removed and replaced according to current standards, with crash-worthy end treatments installed. Additional work will include updating pavement markings and roadway signage.

    Construction

     Construction will begin on Monday, November 3, 2025, on this $829,772 project to replace the bridge that carries Cheyney Road over a branch of Chester Creek in Thornbury Township, Delaware County.

    Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

    Physical work is expected to start on this project in spring 2026. There will be a detour in place at that time.

    J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on this project, which is financed with 80% federal and 20% state funds.
