Due to a failure of a similar bridge in Western PA, the PADOT consultant bridge inspection team inspected Keim Street Bridge, in Pottstown today to determine the extent of deterioration of the bridge. The inspection found unsafe conditions. At this time to preserve safety, the PADOT inspector strongly recommend closing the bridge to all traffic effective 10/13/2010 until further notice. A detour will be installed directing traffic to the closed crossing (Hanover Street).
