Construction Constricts Bryn Mawr Square Traffic

Construction constricting traffic in front of Bryn Mawr Square shopping center should be completed this week, according to a Lower Merion official.

The requires the installation of a storm water management system on Lancaster Avenue, with the closest connection point being in front of the Bryn Mawr Square property, Lower Merion Director of Building and Planning Bob Duncan wrote in an email Thursday afternoon.

In order to make the connection to the Lancaster Avenue storm sewer system, the sidewalk area in front of Bryn Mawr Square and had to be dug up, Duncan wrote. 

“This work has created problems for the tenants and owners of [Bryn Mawr] Square because the construction work has blocked one of the driveways to the shopping center,” he wrote.

An open driveway must be maintained at all times during construction, Duncan said. However, the other entrance and exit from the Bryn Mawr Square shopping center is through Town Place, which Duncan described as being less convenient for customers.

Work is planned in front of the Staples on Sunday night because the entrance may need to be blocked, according to Duncan, and they hope to do that work after Staples has closed or during off-hours.
