Wismer Road Bridge Closure: Major Commute Disruptions Ahead

Traffic, flagging

PLUMSTEAD TWP, PA — In an announcement of significant infrastructural advancement, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has revealed plans to commence the replacement of the Wismer Road bridge spanning Hickory Creek. This critical project, situated in Plumstead Township, Bucks County, is slated to begin on Monday, September 30, with an anticipated completion by late February.

During this period, Wismer Road will be rendered inaccessible between Ferry Road and Carversville Road, necessitating the implementation of a comprehensive detour strategy. Motorists are directed to traverse Point Pleasant Pike, Route 32 (River Road), Green Hill Road, Mechanicsville Road, Aquetong Road, and Carversville Road to circumvent the closure. Local access, however, will be preserved to ensure minimal disruption to community members.

Given the potential for significant traffic congestion and delays in the vicinity of the construction area, commuters are urged to allocate additional travel time and exercise heightened caution. As these operations are contingent upon favorable weather conditions, staying informed of any modifications to the schedule is imperative. For detailed updates and strategic planning, visiting the MyChesCo Traffic Center is strongly recommended.
