Photo 1: A temporary stream crossing was installed in the Little Neshaminy Creek in February 2009 (top photo).  The crossing was installed as part of public input to the project, and allowed for construction vehicles to access the north side of the mitigation site without traveling through local residential streets. Photo 2: After the temporary stream crossing was removed, the stream channel was restored to its pre-existing condition. Photo 3: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers came to the site to observe the Little Neshaminy Creek area following the removal of the temporary stream crossing.  Pictured above, the field view group views the restored channel, bank and riparian edge. Photo 4: Along with the installation of the temporary stream crossing, temporary access roads were put in place for the construction vehicles to move between the north side and south side of the mitigation site.  After the removal of the temporary stream crossing, the access roads were also removed.  Pictured above, the access road is being removed.  The area will be seeded and mulched, and riparian trees are scheduled to be planted in the fall. Photo 5: PennDOT, the Construction Team, the Design Team and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are pictured in front of the former temporary stream crossing.  These groups worked together over the past year on the concept and design of the temporary stream crossing after input from local residents highlighted the concern of having large construction vehicles on local residential roads.  The use of the temporary stream crossing had little effect on the surrounding communities and met all project needs and goals.           Project News       Community Newsletters       Related Sites       Subscribe for E -Mail       Submit a Question or Comment       FAQ          Twitter
