98218 | South Avenue over Muckinipattis Creek (Mulford Bridge) (CB# 142) (Norwood Borough & Glenolden Borough, Delaware County)

This project is a bridge rehabilitation/replacement of the County owned South Avenue Bridge over Muckinipattis Creek (Mulford Bridge) in Glenolden and Norwood Boroughs, Delaware County.
Built in 1927, the existing South Avenue Bridge is a single span reinforced concrete slab bridge. The parapets over the structure are forty-inch high pigeonhole parapets with forty-inch high solid concrete parapets over the wing walls. The concrete structure has an overall span length of 20 feet with a weight restriction of 13 tons, except combinations of 24 tons. The bridge carries two lanes of traffic over Muckinipattis Creek and has a curb-to-curb width of 32 feet with 7’ sidewalks on both the upstream and downstream sides. South Avenue approaching the structure has a 32 foot wide cartway with 6-inch curb and 4-foot sidewalk between Ridgeway Ave and Chester Pike (SR 13). There is existing sidewalk along South Avenue on the downstream side of the structure providing pedestrian access to Chester Pike, the sidewalk on the upstream side of the structure ends at the limits of the parapet wall.
Funding for this project will be drawn down from the County Bridge Line Item (MPMS# 95447) at the appropriate time.
A final alternative for bridge rehabilitation or replacement is determined upon federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) or state Categorical Exclusion clearance.
