The Cherokee Street Bridge built in 1960, is a 220 foot, four-span, multi-girder prestressed I-Beam bridge crossing over Valley Green Road. The project is within the Chestnut Hill Historic District.

This Department of Streets rehabilitation project will:

Demolish and remove the existing barriers, sidewalks, deck, and beams
Perform concrete repairs to the piers and abutments that support the beams
Construct new beams, deck, and sidewalk along with a barrier to meet current safety standards
Improve drainage infrastructure

Cherokee Street, between Springfield Avenue and Willow Grove Avenue, will be closed to vehicular, bicyclist, and pedestrian traffic while the Streets Department rehabilitates the bridge.
