PennDOT Reopens Sellers Avenue Bridge in Ridley Park
Today, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and local officials celebrated the reopening of the bridge carrying Sellers Avenue over Amtrak rail lines in Ridley Park, Delaware County. The bridge was reopened this afternoon.
"PennDOT is committed to planning for the future needs of drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians," said PennDOT District 6 Executive Din Abazi. "I am proud to have worked on this project in 2022 and to see the new, modern, and safer structure open again today."
Under this federally funded project, PennDOT's contractor removed and replaced the 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 was placed behind the existing stone masonry abutments to increase stability.
