Galloway Road Bridge Detour Not Ending Soon

Are you tired of the Galloway Road detour? Well we’re sorry to say, but it’s going to be around for quite a while still, making the already gridlocked Bensalem area even more difficult to navigate by car.

To remind everyone, the road is closed because it carries a bridge over the Pennsylvania Turnpike at about milepost 351. As part of the long-anticipated Turnpike/I-95 Interchange Project, the Turnpike in Bucks County near I-95 needs to be widened and thus the Galloway Road Bridge and another on Bristol-Oxford Valley Road in Bristol Township need to be lengthened.

The projects began in November and the Turnpike expects the bridge replacements, estimated to cost about $10 million, to take approximately one year. Both bridges were originally built in 1957.
