When this current Conshohocken Road Bridge
( goes over Rail Road tracks for the freight trains to the steel mill) is complete (which doesn't seem to be soon) they will move to the other bridge that goes above the steel mill railroad tracks acess closer to Fayette Street. That bridge rebuild is expected to take about a year also, in which case you will still have to go around and not through.

That detour has caused so much traffic trouble! Streets that never so much traffic are now congested all day. Can't think of the name but the street that runs by Ikea is a mess!! Then they're going to work on another bridge?? Help!!

How long has it been now? Seems like forever. Would like to know when it will be done.

Wow, you folks complain a lot. I'm certainly not happy about the detour either. How long do you think it *should* take to tear down and re-build a bridge?

It shouldn't take this long!!

I don't want this fixed at all. I hope they never "fix" whatever it is they are fixing. I live on this street and can finally get in and out of my driveway without having my heart in my throat. Speed limit is 25 and the only drivers who go 25 are the people who live on this street. We (the people who live on this street) have had so many close calls. New/West Elm Street is like I-95. Where are the police? How about issuing tickets to the speeders who just can't wait to get to wherever it is they are going? How about all the people who have been killed on this street? Look it up. This road should be CLOSED to everyone except local traffic. Get real people. What is your hurry? What is so important that you can't take an extra five minutes to get to wherever it is you have to be? Slow the hell down.

That's your stimulus money working for you. Let's spend millions on tearing down bridges and rebuilding them for the fun of it.

I am sorry to tell you this but it was scheduled to be closed for TWO years. They are fixing the bridge to the blue route. What I don't understand is why they don't have one lane open. The traffic on Ridge Pike is horrible.

I used to live on that street and the traffic is horrible. People travel WAY to fast on that road. My parents actually organized a protest and stood in the middle of the street with all the neighbors and their kids to complain about the traffic. That is why that sign with the flashing lights that says Watch Children is under that bridge. I am sure that it is a pain sitting in that traffic on Ridge Pike, however, I would rather sit in traffic than have kids afraid of playing in front of their house. I live in Conshohocken and took that road once in a while. They need to fix the light at Allendale Road and Ridge Pike or have a turning lane. If Ridge Pike was set up to handle the traffic better it wouldn't get all backed up. Once you pass Allendale road it's not backed up anymore.

It's Allenwood road which name changes to brook road after you cross the creek. The allenwood road portion is maintained by Penndot. The Brookroad portion is a plymouth township road. This road has no drainage,high truck traffic, Triple the traffic count because of the conshohocken road detor. call plymouth township to fix the road.

Road is open, finally! You can thank B.H. Obama for this stimulus approved nightmare.

This is fixed. Detour removed.

PENNDOT must be the most inefficient organization in the world. Two years to replace two dinky little railroad bridges and guess what, they are not smooth at all but bumpy. About 1931 they built the Empire State Building in a little over a year with inferior equipment . Fire all those bums in Harrisburg.
