The open grate bridge on Route 841 at Thouron Road will be closed for repair starting Monday, March 16. The PennDOT project is expected to take until late April.
Route 841 (Chatham Road) will be closed between Springdell Road and Blow Horn corner at Route 82 (Doe Run Road). Here is PennDOT's suggested detour: "Chatham Road motorists will be directed to use Route 841 South (Chatham Road), Route 842 East (Clonmell Upland Road), and Route 82 North (Doe Run Road). Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone."
The bridge, which crosses the Doe Run, was built in 1932 and rebuilt in 1974. It's 81 feet long and 23 feet wide and carries an average of 502 vehicles a day, according to PennDOT.
At the West Marlborough Township meeting on March 3, the supervisors said they knew nothing about the project until a Springdell resident asked them about it. They said they wished PennDOT had given them more notice of the roadwork.
