Rockhill Drive, Route 1 Ramps Closing For Weekend

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —Rockhill Drive and two Route 1 intersection ramps will be closed Friday night through Monday under PennDOT's $116 million project to reconstruct, widen, and improve a three-mile section in Bucks County.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said that intersection reconstruction will close Rockhill Drive at Horizon Boulevard from 8 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. on Monday.

The ramps from northbound Route 1 to Rockhill Drive and westbound Rockhill Drive to southbound Route 1 will also be closed.

Drivers headed northbound for the east side of Rockhill Drive will be detoured north on Route 1, exit at Penndel/Business U.S. 1, turn left onto southbound Old Lincoln Highway, turn left onto Bristol Road, and turn right onto Neshaminy Boulevard to access Rockhill Drive, PennDOT said.

Drivers on northbound U.S. 1 heading for the west side of Rockhill Drive will be detoured north on U.S. 1, exit at Penndel/Business U.S. 1, and turn left onto southbound Old Lincoln Highway to access Rockhill Drive.

Drivers on westbound Rockhill Drive heading for southbound U.S. 1 will be detoured north on U.S. 1, exit at Penndel/Business U.S. 1, and turn left onto southbound Old Lincoln Highway to access the ramp to southbound U.S. 1.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because significant backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather-dependent.
The work is part of PennDOT’s U.S. 1/RC2 contract that will reconstruct and widen U.S. 1 from south of the Rockhill Drive Interchange to north of the Penndel/Business U.S. 1 Interchange.
