PennDOT hopes to begin Rosslyn Farms Parkway ramp repair in late June
The bridge carrying traffic from Rosslyn Road onto the inbound side of the Parkway West to be closed “for the next few months,” shortly after a truck crashed into its support structure in early February.
A lack of available construction materials will likely keep it closed a bit longer, PennDOT spokesman Steve Cowan said .
“We are about six to eight weeks out from material availability,” he said. “We we’re looking at work beginning around late June.”
The Feb. 2 crash happened about a mile west of Exit 65 on the Parkway West (I-376). With structural inspection and repair-design work complete, PennDOT is now waiting on the construction materials to do the work.
“Once the work begins, the contractor will have a two-week timeframe for it, which will include nightly closures of eastbound I-376,” Cowan said.
