Crossing a troubled bridge

Here’s a traffic update for anyone out in the Radnor area.

There’s a bridge closure that is going to cause problems for drivers in Radnor.

PennDOT has closed a bridge on King of Prussia Road for emergency repairs. It will be out of commission for about a month.

Not good news if you’re in one the 16,000 cars that go over that bridge every work day.

King of Prussia Road will be closed from Matsonford Road to Croton Road in an area just south of Cabrini College.

Inspectors discovered severe damage in the 75-year-old stone bridge that crosses Gulph Creek. They decided to shut down the span immediately. The move comes just a week after a similar decision was made involving a bridge in Chester County.

In other words, if you use King of Prussia Road in Radnor Township, your daily commute just got a lot worse.
