Concrete underpinning repairs were made to the upstream wingwall to stabilize and address undermining from stream erosion.

Rip-rap stone protection was placed along the wingwall and upstream stream bank to reduce future erosion and scour.

Sediment was removed from both cells of the culverts, and some vegetation that was blocking flow immediately upstream of the culvert.

Additionally, some minor concrete spalling areas were addressed, and the disturbed areas were regraded and seeded/strawed.

Tredyffrin officials followed up with PennDOT and got approval to remove the one lane closure, which was in place for several months as the repairs were made.

The barriers have been removed, and Wembley Drive is now open to full traffic in both directions.

Officials thanked residents for their patience during the closure.
