County Line Road Bridge Construction Nears Completion

The Jaymor Road/James Way detour will be a thing of the past come next month, according to PennDOT.

Back in January, the Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority began work on a water main replacement project on the portion of County Line Road between Jaymor Road and Huntingdon Pike (Rte 232).  

When the project began, officials estimated that the project would be finished by April 6. Despite a few weather-related setbacks, PennDOT says the project appears to be pretty close to following the initial timeline. 

PennDOT Community Relations Coordinator Charles Metzger said as of the last update, the BCWSA would be handing over the roadway on April 13, barring no problems.

“Weather can affect that date, also when you are digging up stuff you never know what you might find,” he said. “But so far it looks good for the 13th.” 

Metzger said once the sewer work is complete, the concrete has to be replaced and the roadway has to be repaved. He said this work should not affect the reopen date for the bridge.
