West Moreland Avenue Bridge Detours Will Be Enforced: PD

HATBORO, PA — Drivers who do not follow the West Moreland Avenue bridge detours will receive tickets with no warnings, police said.

The Hatboro Borough Police Department said the contractor, H&K Group, is expected to post the PennDOT-approved detour for the Montgomery County bridge replacement project on Monday.

Demolition of the bridge is expected to begin shortly thereafter.

Once demolition begins, the bridge will be closed to all vehicles and pedestrians at that time and remain in place through the completion of the project, police said.

The project is expected to be completed in December 2027.

Hatboro Police will be conducting targeted speed and stop sign enforcement in the neighborhoods surrounding the bridge project.

Police said it is in the best interest to follow the PennDOT-approved detours.

Any drivers who decide to cut through residential neighborhoods and speed, fail to stop at a stop sign or drive in an unsafe manner will receive a traffic citation that will cost $170 with no warnings issued, police said.
