Montgomery County officials approved a series of bids and request for proposals, among them the replacement of County Bridge No. 56, located along Rices Mill Road over the Tacony Creek in Cheltenham Township and County Bridge No. 44, located along Moredon Road over the Pennypack Creek in Abington Township, The Reporter said.

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.

The Byberry Road parking lot at the Pennypack Trail in Huntingdon Valley is expected to be paved as well, according to the article.
