14134 | West Bridge Street Bridge Over Amtrak (Parkesburg Borough, Chester County)

The existing bridge on West Bridge Street in the Borough of Parkesburg, which is in poor condition and functionally obsolete, will be replaced. The structural deterioration advanced to the point that the bridge was no longer able to safely carry vehicular loads. The bridge was closed to traffic in 1994. In addition to the vehicular restriction, both sidewalks are restricted from use due to the severe deterioration of the wooden deck. The existing roadway width of 5.8 meters (19.0 ft) contains two travel lanes and no shoulders. This bridge will be replaced with a two-lane bridge with minimal shoulders and sidewalks on both sides. The bicycle and pedestrian checklists have been incorporated into the project.
