Rt 11 bridge construction postponed

Construction for the Route 11 bridge, spanning Salt Lick Creek in New Milford Township, has been postponed to 2017. It was previously scheduled to begin during the week of November 28.
A release with full details on the new construction timeline will be distributed prior to the start of construction in 2017.
The Route 11 bridge is referred to as JV-144 out of the 558 bridges being replaced under the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project. JV references the joint-venture partnership between Walsh/Granite, which is leading construction for the entire project.
The Rapid Bridge Replacement Project is a public-private partnership (P3) between PennDOT and Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners (PWKP), under which PWKP will finance, design, replace, and maintain the bridges for 25 years. The P3 approach will allow PennDOT to replace the bridges more quickly while achieving significant savings and minimizing impact on motorists.
