Route 1 Phase III Project Planning Progressing

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA — As the Route 1 Traffic Improvements Project continues, PennDOT is gearing up for Phase III.

TMA Bucks, Bucks County's transportation agency based in Bensalem Township, said that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is seeking public feedback on the project.

The project on Route 1 and Rockhill Drive in Bensalem and Middletown townships falls under a $116 million project to reconstruct, widen, and improve a three-mile section of the highway.

PennDOT said that Phase III construction is anticipated to start in the fall of 2029, with construction set for completion in the fall of 2033.

The cost and the contrator has yet to be determined, PennDOT said.
