RoadCon, the contractor for the Sellers Avenue Bridge, is in the area today with the structural piece of the pedestrian bridge. Please be mindful of flaggers and detours in the area for September 27, 2023

During a Sellers Avenue Bridge meeting, held September 12^th 2023,  there was a promising update to the scheduled project. PennDOT has reconfigured the first phase of the Temporary Pedestrian Bridge to now have foundations on either side of the current structure and be directly over the current Sellers Avenue Bridge. This bridge will NOT BE ON THE CURRENT SELLERS AVE BRIDGE, this will be a separate structure that is directly over it and will allow for utility relocation and pedestrian traffic. This will allow work to start without the immediate need for the new catenary cables to be installed on the railroad.

Completion of the pedestrian bridge is still contingent on construction schedules, weather and pending outages as needed for access over the railroad. At this time, we will not be announcing a date for completion of the pedestrian bridge. BUT PLEASE BE AWARE WHEN TRAVELING NEAR THE BUSINESS DISTRICT, THAT CONSTRUCTION ON THIS PORTION OF THE SELLERS AVENUE BRIDGE PROJECT HAS BEGUN.

Ridley Park Borough continues to thank all of the agencies involved in helping get this project to this point, but more importantly Ridley Park Borough Council and Mayor would like to thank all of the residents, business owners and stake holders who have attended all of the public meetings. These meetings allowed for the agencies to see the importance of this community artery.
