SUMNEYTOWN PIKE ROAD WIDENING & BRIDGE REPLACEMENT Since the publication of our Fall Newsletter, the paving schedule for the area between Church Road and Beaver Street has been amended. Nighttime paving will begin on August 31 at 7:00 pm and will end on September 3 at 6:00 am. The following week paving operations will be done during Tuesday and Wednesday during the day (no night work). With respects to the bridge, the new abutment on the south side (Merck side) was completed during a two week period which began in late June. The construction of this abutment involved the temporary removal of the railroad tracks, the removal of approximately 100 feet of railroad bed was rebuilt and the tracks reinstalled to avoid prolonging the track outage. There are nearly twenty businesses in the North Penn/Indian Valley area who utilize this rail line for the shipping of product and raw materials. The second abutment north side (diner side) will be constructed in early October. This phase of the project will include the construction of the new abutment, the demolition of the stone walls of the existing bridge, and the installation of the new bridge. This phase of the project will be completed during a single four week closure of the rail line. This schedule was recently amended and approved by CSX. During the months of July and August the Township's contractor and associated utility companies completed the utility relocation and the lowering of the elevation of Sumneytown Pike to accommodate the new roadway clearance in preparation for the new bridge. This work included the installation of curbs along the East and West approaches to the bridge. This project is scheduled to be completed by December 30, 2010. The Township fully understands that this project has been an inconvenience to the general public and businesses. The Township has worked closely and diligently with all business owners along the corridor during this past project. However, progress often comes with a temporary price for a long term benefit. The Township appreciates everyone's patience during the construction of this difficult and complex project. Sumneytown Pike Detour
