Lane Closures, Traffic Stoppages In Bucks Co. Next Week: PennDOT

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced that several roads in Bucks County will see travel restrictions for construction projects this coming week.

Rockhill Drive and Old Lincoln Highway in Bensalem and Middletown townships will see overnight lane closures and traffic stoppages at various times between Monday and Thursday.

A list of the projects and times can be found below:

• Monday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Rockhill Drive will be reduced to a single lane with flaggers between Old Lincoln Highway and Neshaminy Boulevard for shoulder paving.
• Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. the following morning, Rockhill Drive will be reduced to a single lane with flaggers between Old Lincoln Highway and Neshaminy Boulevard for line striping and construction barrier placement.
• Monday through Thursday from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. the following morning, intermittent traffic stoppages will occur on southbound Old Lincoln Highway between Bristol Road and Hulmeville Road for overhead bridge beam erection at the U.S. 1 overpass.

The construction is a part of a larger project to widen almost three miles of U.S. 1. The construction of new structures over the Neshaminy Creek and over rail lines near the Penndel exit will be built as a part of the project.

Those traveling these roads at these times should make extra time to compensate for closures or find a different route. All scheduled construction projects will be weather dependent.
