Art school road over BR pickering CK (2 bridges)

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation received a $995,000 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 5, 2025, for infrastructure improvements on State Route 1024 in West Pikeland Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The project, designated "Art School Road Over BR Pickering CK (2 Bridges)," involves the replacement of two bridges spanning an unnamed branch of Pickering Creek, with work scheduled for completion by October 25, 2028.

The grant funds the comprehensive reconstruction of bridge approaches, addition of three-foot shoulders across both bridges, construction of a retaining wall, mill and overlay work between reconstructed sections, installation of a drainage swale, and associated miscellaneous construction activities. The project addresses two specific bridge structures (Bridge Key 10337 and 10338) and encompasses roadway improvements across approximately 0.5 miles of State Route 1024, representing a critical preservation and safety enhancement initiative for local transportation infrastructure in Chester County.
