(November 30, 2010) – As part of its continued system preservation efforts, the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) has completed the replacement of the aging bridge deck on the Berwyn Road bridge over Indian Creek in Berwyn Heights, Prince George’s County. 

The $649,000 bridge project began spring 2010 and included replacing the two-lane bridge deck and cleaning and painting steel beams.  Other work included installing new ornamental lighting, reconstructing the approaching roadway, replacing existing curb, gutter and sidewalks and installing a new section of sidewalk that now connects to the Indian Creek Trail on the southwest side of the bridge.

SHA closed the Berwyn Road Bridge to drivers and pedestrians in July to replace the 77 year-old bridge concrete deck.  The contract was awarded to Pioneer Contracting Co., Inc. 

SHA thanks motorists for their patience during construction.  When workers are on the road, THINK ORANGE, which is the color of construction signs, barrels and warning devices.  Please slow down, stay alert and expect the unexpected.  Choose to make work zone safety your business at www.choosesafetyforlife.com
