What's Ahead for PA Turnpike Projects Now that Mill Road Bridge is Re-Opened
The eight month Mil Road Bridge replacement is just one of several projects on the Turnpike though the heart of Tredyffrin/Valley Forge.
The Mill Road Bridge over the Pennsylvania Turnpike is finally open again. In case you forgot or didn't know why it was replaced in the first place, the answer is that it's part of widening the turnpike from milepost 320 to 326.
The Mill Road and North Valley Forge Road bridges had to be replaced before the construction projects to widen the turnpike can begin.
One of the next big projects on the calendar probably won't affect local traffic the way an eight month road closure does, but it's still a big one. The Valley Forge Service Area will be closed from Labor Day 2013-Memorial Day 2014 for a complete overhaul, according to the PA Turnpke Commission's website about the entire Turnpike widening project.
