Reconnecting a Community — Sellers Avenue Bridge Reopens!
On October 15, Road-Con joined PennDOT, project partners, local officials, and the Ridley Park community to celebrate the reopening of the Sellers Avenue Bridge in Delaware County.
Construction began in August 2023, and replacing this bridge over active railroad tracks came with no shortage of challenges. From coordinating with Amtrak and SEPTA to working around energized overhead transmission lines, railroad catenary, and numerous utilities requiring relocation, this project demanded extensive planning, coordination, and teamwork.
Throughout construction, maintaining pedestrian access was a priority. A temporary pedestrian bridge and carefully planned walkways allowed residents to continue crossing between the neighborhoods and businesses on either side of the railroad.
Seeing the community come together for the ribbon cutting was a great reminder of why these projects matter. This bridge is more than a roadway crossing. It’s an important connection between neighborhoods, local businesses, and the heart of Ridley Park.
A big thank you to our Road-Con crews, PennDOT, Gannett Fleming, Amtrak, SEPTA, and everyone involved in bringing this project to this milestone.
Great work by the entire Road-Con team!
