Limekiln Pike Closures

June 27 Update:

This weekend’s closure is proceeding as anticipated, with the bridge likely to reopen either this evening or tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, this was not the final closure- the next (and hopefully) last closure is anticipated to occur from July 23-25, while new beams are set on the southbound side of the roadway.


The project on the Limekiln Pike Bridge, between Mount Carmel Ave and Willow Grove Ave in Cheltenham, will continue to see lane closures until June 25, when it is anticipated to close once again, but just for the weekend this time. The weekend of June 25 will see the removal of existing beams at the bridge and prep work to receive new beams during the fourth and final bridge closure, estimated to occur the weekend of July 23 to 25.

A number of utilities run across the bridge, including AquaPA and PECO. Dates of upcoming closures cannot be confirmed until approved by PennDOT, PECO, and SEPTA, which makes this project particularly challenging.
