Montgomery County officials have advertised bids for the replacement of County Bridges #38 and #44. The bids appear in the Board of Commissioners’ November 14 agenda.

County Bridge #38 crosses W. Moreland Avenue over a branch of Pennypack Creek in Upper Moreland
Township and the Borough of Hatboro. County Bridge #44 crosses Moredon Road over Pennypack Creek in Abington Township.

Bids must be submitted by December 17 for County Bridge #44 and December 12 for County Bridge #38, according to the county purchasing department’s website.

In August, the county approved the replacement of County Bridge No. 56, located along Rices Mill Road over the Tacony Creek in Cheltenham Township and County Bridge No. 44.

Officials requested construction inspection services related to the projects. Interested parties would be tasked with providing “full-time on-site construction oversight and inspection” during the replacements.

Construction is expected to begin in late winter or early spring 2025. The process is expected to take 12 months for the Cheltenham bridge and 11 months for the Abington bridge.
