    Project Overview

    County: Montgomery
    Municipality: Douglass Township
    State Route(s): Route 4040
    Local Name(s): Gilbertsville Road
    Project Type: Bridge Replacement
    Last Updated: January 2025

    PennDOT plans to replace the bridge that carries Gilbertsville Road (Route 4040) over a Branch of Minister Creek in Douglass Township, Montgomery County. The existing single-span reinforced concrete slab bridge is in poor condition and was constructed in 1938. 

    It Is anticipated the proposed culvert would include two 12-foot lanes and two 5-foot shoulders. Additional construction includes the replacement of guide rail and guide rail end treatments, approach pavement reconstruction and resurfacing, and new pavement markings and signing.​

    During construction, the portion of Gilbertsville Road will be closed to all traffic. Drivers will be directed to a detour route that uses Maugers Mill Road, North Charlotte Street, and Big Road.
