Montgomery County commissioners are soliciting bids for the replacement of two bridges in Abington Township: County Bridge No. 269, which runs along Easton Road over Sandy Run, and the Pennypack Trail Bridge.

County Bridge No. 269 was initially built in 1930 and widened in 1970, according to the Montgomery County Purchasing Department’s website. The structure is made of reinforced concrete pipes, a reinforced concrete slab and a stone masonry arch.

From the Pennypack Trail Bridge’s request for proposal:

The proposed replacement is a cast-in-place concrete box culvert, replacing the stone masonry arch portion of the existing structure. The project includes removal of the stone masonry arch and replacement with the box culvert, full depth approach work, utility relocation, curb and paver replacement and other associate work.

Those interested in submitting bids have until July 10 and July 9, respectively.
