Utility Construction Begins Next Week on Ridley Avenue Under Sellers Avenue Bridge Improvement Project in Ridley Park Borough

King of Prussia, PA- The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that gas main relocation will begin next week on Ridley Avenue under a $9.9 million project to replace the Sellers Avenue bridge superstructure in Ridley Park Borough, Delaware County.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Tuesday, August 20, through Friday, August 30, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, a weekday lane closure is scheduled on Ridley Avenue between Sellers Avenue/Ward Avenue and North Swarthmore Avenue.
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.
Improvements will also occur on the approach roadways to the bridge including East Ridley Avenue, Sellers Avenue, and Hinkley Avenue. Construction includes milling and resurfacing, stormwater management, and ADA curb installation.
For more information, visit the Sellers Avenue Bridge Improvement Project webpage.
