3 Bryn Mawr Avenue Bridges Reopened After Rehab Work

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, PA — Three Bryn Mawr Avenue bridges in Radnor Township are open again after undergoing rehab work by PennDOT.

According to PennDOT, contractors rehabilitated the masonry arch structures and repaired the stone masonry abutment, dismantled the parapets, poured slab and concrete parapet core, faced the core wall with the existing brick and concrete cap to match the existing appearance, paved the roadway, and installed pavement markings and signs.

The three bridges carry Bryn Mawr Avenue over Meadowbrook Run and Doom Run.

The three bridges include:

• Bryn Mawr Avenue over Meadowbrook Run. The bridge is 12 feet long, 29 feet wide and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places;
• Bryn Mawr Avenue over a tributary to Meadowbrook Run. The structure is 8 feet long and 30 feet wide; and
• Bryn Mawr Avenue over Doom Run. The bridge is 12 feet long and 36 feet wide.

All three structures were built in 1905 and currently carry an average of 10,515 vehicles a day.

The completion of the three bridges now concludes a $7.7 million project to repair seven bridges in Philadelphia, Delaware and Montgomery counties.
