District 6 Projects - Chester County

​​Conestoga Road over Pickering Creek Bridge Replacement

Project Overview

County: Chester
State Route(s): Route 401
Local Name(s): Conestoga Road
Project Type: Bridge Replacement

This project is for the replacement of the bridge that carries Conestoga Road (Route 401) over Pickering Creek in West Pikeland Township, Chester County.  The existing bridge is a single-span reinforced concrete T-beam bridge that was constructed in 1938.  The bridge is posted with weight restrictions and is in overall poor condition.

The proposed construction includes replacing the existing bridge with a slightly longer and wider bridge on the same general alignment as the existing bridge.   Related construction includes replacing guide rail and end treatments; resurfacing the pavement on the bridge approaches, and signing and pavement marking installation.
