Residents urge Tinicum supervisors to fix Durham Road potholes and limit truck traffic
Summary
Resident Claudia Davis described severe potholes and truck damage on Durham Road, saying drivers and service vehicles are at risk; supervisors said repair requires engineering work and that the issue is on the township's plan.
Claudia Davis, who identified herself as living on Durham Road, told the board the road is "so bad" that garbage and delivery drivers have fallen into potholes and that tractor trailers have worsened the surface. She said the problem occurs every spring and fall and asked what tax dollars are used for repairs and why temporary stone isn't being placed to reduce safety risks.
Chair and supervisors acknowledged the problem and said addressing an underground spring and the damage will require significant engineering work and possibly an outside contractor; the township manager said the repair is "on the list" but cautioned that the work will be a large project. Supervisor Todd noted the state has reviewed the nearby Dark Hollow Road intersection multiple times and said vegetation trimming might improve visibility.
