A construction crew spent the evening installing the handrails and part I the decking on the new Great Valley Trail bridge that will carry pedestrians over Valley Forge Road.
A project manager on the site told Patch that he expected the work to take until about 2 a.m. Friday.
Valley Forge was closed to traffic at 6 p.m. Thursday and was expected to be reopened in plenty of time for the Friday morning rush hour.
