47979 | North Valley Road over Amtrak (Willistown Township & Tredyffrin Township, Chester County)
This project will look to replace the existing bridge on North Valley Road (SR1005) over Amtrak/SEPTA (BMS # 15-1005-0080-1331 adjacent to the Paoli Train Station) with a new bridge across from the intersection of Lancaster Avenue and Darby Road. It is being planned as one element of the Paoli Intermodal Transportation Center, which would upgrade Chester County’s most utilized train station which currently serves Amtrak, SEPTA’s Paoli/Thorndale Regional Rail Line, as well as various bus routes.
This project also includes the addition of a new access road from Lancaster Ave to the Paoli Station, traffic signal improvements, and a single-lane roundabout at Central Ave & N.Valley Rd.
See MPMS #60574 for transit components of the Paoli Transportation Center. The North Valley Road Bridge is functionally obsolete and has substandard vertical geometry.
