Accident at Iron Bridge and Route 29 Leaves Traffic Snarled
If traveling down Route 29 or Route 113, plan an alternate route.
A late afternoon accident at the intersection of Route 29 and Iron Bridge Drive in Perkiomen Township has traffic slowed to a near-halt in both directions, as crews work to free two vehicles from a wooded area.
Though it is unclear what caused the accident at this time, Perkiomen Valley Patch reader Robin Pasquarello, who is at the scene, stated that both vehicles had gone well off the road.
"Both cars were deep into the woods to the point you could only see fire crews trying to pull the drivers out," said Paquarello. "There was at least three firetrucks and one ambulance."
Pasquarello also that traffic moving towards 113 is not getting by at all, and traffic coming from 113 is being re-routed through Iron Bridge Drive. She added that Iron Bridge Drive is now backed up from the intersection with 113 all the way through Route 29 in Rahns.

Bad intersection. It is very had to see if you are on Iron Bridge attempting to turn onto 29 (in either direction). The trees and bushes are overgrown, and the cars speed down 29. Both ends of Iron Bridge are dangerous intersections.

The entrance off of 29 is the original entrance to Mrs French's house that used to be there before it was bought and made into an industrial park..they entrance should have been moved so the that the wall is not your field of vision when trying to exit the park...how about if people stop using it as a cut through to Betcher Rd?

I work at one of the companies in the Industrial park. Both ends of Iron Bridge are horrible. There have been countless times that I have pulled out to onto 29 in either direction only to suddenly have someone barreling down the road towards me.
