Daily News | PennDOT abruptly closed the failing Route 420 South bridge. Here’s how to get around it.
PennDOT announced the closure Wednesday night, saying bridge inspectors had found “significant beam and bearing pedestal deterioration.”
PennDOT could not give a time frame for when the bridge might reopen and said in a statement that it will “remain closed until bridge engineers develop a plan to repair the structure.” As a result, motorists driving from the Prospect Park area and heading toward Tinicum, will have to take U.S. 13 west and turn left onto Stewart Avenue, then connect with 1-95.in a database of an Inquirer story earlier this year that found 512 roadway bridges in the Philadelphia region with average traffic of 100 or more vehicles a day had a “poor” rating for at least one of three components: deck, superstructure, or substructure.
