GOLDEN PHEASANT BRIDGE ON RIVER ROAD (Route 32) CLOSED FOR REPAIRS:
PennDOT is making structural repairs to the single-span bridge carrying Route 32 (River Road) over the Delaware Canal near the Golden Pheasant Inn. Route 32 will be closed between Tinicum Creek Rd and Headquarters Rd through late December.

Route 32 motorists should follow the posted detour of Dark Hollow Rd, Route 413 and Route 611. Click here to see the PennDOT detour map Motorists are advised to allow extra time. The road will remain open to local traffic up to the bridge.

PennDOT’s contractor will replace the existing deck and badly deteriorated steel beams, replace the guardrail, and perform minor repairs to the stone masonry abutments. PennDOT stated that this is a temporary solution until a larger replacement or rehabilitation project, currently in preliminary engineering phase, is ready for construction. Revised 10/16/18

HEADQUARTERS ROAD BRIDGE UPDATE:
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has granted PennDOT the Categorical Exclusion (CE) for Headquarters Road Bridge, enabling PennDOT to move forward with the design in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement.

Due to the deterioration of its structural integrity, PennDOT engineers and Transportation Secretary Richards have determined that rehabilitation of the existing bridge is not an option. PennDOT states that there are two options:

1. Construction of a new one-lane bridge. This option would require Tinicum Township taxpayers to take ownership and responsibility.
2. Construction of a new two-lane bridge. Under this option, PennDOT would retain ownership and responsibility.

Both options would seek to maintain the historical look of the bridge and reuse existing stones where possible. Revised 10/16/18

ROAD & BRIDGE UPDATES:

• Route 32 (River Road) is CLOSED at the Golden Pheasant Bridge through the end of December.
• Headquarters Road Bridge over Tinicum Creek at Sheephole Road is CLOSED.
• Uhlerstown Hill Road: The hill section is open, one-way only going uphill (northbound).
• Check traffic conditions on major PA highways before heading out: Log on to www.511pa.com or call 511.
