PennDOT will begin work this spring to repair a bridge damaged in a collision earlier this year.
Loftus Construction Inc. of Cinnaminson, New Jersey has been hired by PennDOT to begin repair work on the Oxford Valley Road bridge over Route 1. The bridge, which sits on the Falls Township and Lower Makefield border, was struck by an oversized truck carrying fork lifts struck it.

The June crash caused damage to four steel I-beams that support the 167-foot-long bridge that is 90-feet wide. An inspection by engineers deemed the bridge that carries 16,000 vehicles per day safe but in need of repair.
PennDOT officials report the repair work is to begin in spring 2016.
The repair work is part of a $6.8 million project that will include five other projects in Bucks and Montgomery counties.
