    Bridge Demolition Planned Next Week on Sellers Avenue Bridge Project in Ridley Park Borough

    February 20, 2025

    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that bridge demolition activities will occur next week under a $9.8 million project to replace the Sellers Avenue bridge superstructure over Amtrack in Ridley Park Borough, Delaware County.

    Weather permitting, motorists are advised that periodic closures are scheduled on Monday, February 24, and Tuesday, February 25, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, for movement of large equipment at the following intersections:

    During the periodic closures, motorists will be directed by construction personnel through the work area. Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near or through the work zones because backups and delays may occur.

    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. 

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