AVONDALE: State Street bridge update

According to a report presented at the May 2 London Grove Township meeting, the State Street bridge project is on schedule to be finished on May 25. Reopening the strategically located bridge will relieve a major traffic bottleneck that has plagued commuters not only in Avondale but also in London Grove, West Grove and Penn Townships since last summer. 
I drove by on May 10 and saw lots of heavy equipment and trucks and about a dozen workers, some standing on the new bridge deck and others digging a ditch. 
According to the bridge report on the township's website, "Latest construction meeting was held 4/12/18, project is on schedule for 5/25/18 completion date. Diaphragms were placed 4/10/18 and the bridge deck was poured 04/23/18. The County, Avondale and London Grove continue to work with PECO to elevate any potential delays from the gas line cut-over."
The county's website is less specific, saying only that the bridge will be reopened in "late spring 2018."
