Forrester Road Bridge Replacement Project
Project Overview
This project is to replace the bridge that carries Forrester Road over Cool Spring Creek in Fairview Township, Mercer County.
The bridge is located on Forrester Road (Route 2017) between the intersection with Airport Road and the intersection with Williamson Road.
The project will include replacing the bridge with a precast concrete bridge. Work will also include minor paving near the bridge and updated guiderail and pavement markings.
Work is expected to occur in 2025 construction season.
The existing steel I-beam single-span bridge was built in 1950. It is classified as poor condition. Approximately 500 vehicles a day use the bridge, on average.
Traffic Impacts
A detour will be required during construction and is expected to be in place for approximately 4 months. The proposed 10-mile detour route will be posted using Poole Road (Route 2019), Fredonia Road/Stoneboro Road (Route 1004), and Airport Road (Route 2015).
