118552 | Harvey's Bridge Road over West Bridge Brandywine Creek (CB#92) (Newlin Township, Chester County)

This project will rehab or replace a bridge. Chester County Bridge #92 is a three-span, single lane, reinforced concrete through girder bridge supported by concrete abutments. Constructed in 1926, the bridge is weight restricted at 8 Tons. It is rated in poor condition due to advanced scour at the piers and is coded as Scour Critical Category B, requiring monitoring on a 12-hour interval during heavy rain of 2 or more in a 24-hour period. The concrete deck and girders are spalled with exposed and corroded steel reinforcement.
Harveys Bridge spans between two T intersections and constricts approaching two-lane, two-way traffic to one lane, resulting in a severely reduced Deck Geometry rating of 2- Basically intolerable condition requiring high priority of replacement, an indication of the bridges inability to meet current safety criteria.
The bridge provides the only crossing of a 3.5 mile stretch of the W. Branch of Brandywine Creek between PA State Route 162, Embreeville Road, and Strasburg Road in Newlin Township. Because of its limited load carrying capacity, routine services to local residents are restricted and fire response times are increased, presenting increased risk of property damage and injury for local residents. Harveys Bridge has experienced numerous overloads following closure of the PA Route 162 bridge due to damage sustained during Tropical Storm Ida.
