Brower s Bridge in East Nantmeal and Warwick townships will be upgraded by the state.
Construction began Feb. 22 on a project to rehabilitate Brower s Bridge, a historic 117-year-old bridge carrying Mansion Road over the south branch of French Creek in Warwick and East Nantmeal townships, Chester County, according to the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).
Due to the nature of construction, Mansion Road is closed and vehicle traffic detoured 24/7 between Reading Furnace Road/James Mill Road and PA Route 401 (Conestoga Road). PennDOT said the rehab work is scheduled to be completed in late May, at which time the road and bridge will reopen.

I-83 Mount Rose Avenue
It ll mark six years this summer that the I-83 Mount Rose interchange has been under construction. That s double the amount of time it was expected to take originally.
The project, which was bid for $58.3 million, involves a full reconfiguration of the interchange to relieve a bottleneck and reduce crashes. It includes new ramps, bridges and traffic signals with real-time traffic management at six intersections.
The beleaguered project has drawn criticism from lawmakers and the public because of the lengthy delays.
PennDOT and the contractor, Cherry Hill Construction of Jessup, Maryland, remain locked in a legal battle over the delays. The matter remains before the state Board of Claims. The tribunal acts as a trial court for contractor claims filed against the state.
