May 16 Update #2:
There’s good news, and there’s bad news.
AS MOST ARE AWARE WE WERE UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE REMOVAL OF THE STAGE 2 EXISTING BRIDGE BEAMS THIS WEEKEND AND ARE WORKING ON A REVISED DESIGN WITH A NEW TARGET DATE OF THE WEEKEND OF JUNE 25, 2021.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BRIDGE IS NOW OPEN.
May 16 Update: The bridge is on track to re-open tomorrow morning at 5am. Per email from Neshaminy Constructors (the bridge's contractor):
“Stage 1 was completed today.
As such the road & bridge will be opened no later than this coming Monday morning at 5 AM.
Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.”
The Limekiln Pike bridge is now closed in both directions, and is anticipated to reopen Monday May 17th at 5AM. Due to utility delay (underground), works on the east side of the bridge cannot be completed on time in order to switch traffic (west side to east Side) on April 25th, 2021 as scheduled. Contractor requested this needed closure to begin their preparation works for Beam Removal that is currently scheduled for May 14th, 2021 weekend outages with Septa and Peco Electric. As soon as works on the east side of the bridge are completed, traffic on the west side will be switched over to the new bridge and reopen immediately.
