About the Project
The existing bridge is a 10’ long single-span reinforced concrete slab constructed in 1922. The bridge carries Route 113 (Souderton Road) over a branch of Mill Creek in Hilltown Township, Bucks County. The structure is in overall poor condition.
The project involves the replacement of the existing structure with a slightly longer single-span concrete box culvert.
The project also includes the replacement of the guide rail, signing, and pavement markings.
