Chapman road over pine run

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a $1,194,000 Formula Grant on July 3, 2025, to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) for the Chapman Road Bridge Over Pine Run replacement project. The award funds the complete replacement of the bridge structure spanning Pine Run on State Route 7205 in Doylestown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, along with associated miscellaneous construction activities as detailed in approved bid package specifications. Bridge Key 7597 is an urban local bridge owned by Doylestown Township, located from 450 feet northwest of the intersection with SR 4007 to the intersection with SR 4007.

This project represents a typical infrastructure preservation initiative under the federal-aid highway program, which provides states annual funding through statutory formula allocations to support highway and bridge infrastructure maintenance and improvement. The grant enables PennDOT to deliver critical bridge rehabilitation and safety infrastructure improvements that enhance transportation connectivity and public safety within the commonwealth's multimodal transportation network, consistent with the program's mandate to assist states in constructing, preserving, and improving public highway facilities.
