Gilbertsville Road over Branch of Minister Creek Bridge Replacement


Project Location


Overview

PennDOT plans to replace the bridge that carries Gilbertsville Road (S.R. 4040) over a Branch of Minister Creek in Douglass Township, Montgomery County.  The existing single-span reinforced concrete slab bridge is in poor condition and was constructed in 1938. 

The proposed construction includes replacing the existing bridge with a slightly longer and wider culvert on the same general alignment. It Is anticipated the proposed culvert would include two 12-foot lanes and two 5-foot shoulders.  Additional construction includes the replacement of guide rail and guide rail end treatments, approach pavement reconstruction and resurfacing, and new pavement markings and signing.​

During construction, the portion of Gilbertsville Road will be closed to all traffic.  Drivers will be directed to a detour route that uses Maugers Mill Road, North Charlotte Street, and Big Road.
