Road-Con's own Christopher Hoffman captured these photos of the current situation at the historic Fetters Mill Bridge in Montgomery County. This portable dam system allows us to drill caissons for the foundation.
Fetters Mill Bridge is an 82-foot, single-span steel riveted through truss over Pennypack Creek connecting Lower Moreland Township to Bryn Athyn Borough. It was built in 1883 and rehabilitated in 1977. PennDOT closed the bridge indefinitely on April 27, 2017, due to its poor condition.
PennDOT ultimately approved a full rehabilitation to accommodate a single lane of traffic through the historical Fetter’s Mill Village. Road-Con continues to overcome many unique challenges related to the historic preservation of the bridge, the village, and nearby buildings, but when all is said and done, this incredible structure will be restored to greatness.
