U.S. 1 North To See Nightime Lane Closures Next Week: PennDOT

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced that a part of Northbound U.S. 1 will be reduced to a single lane in the areas of Bensalem and Middletown townships beginning on Monday and ending on Friday.

The closures are related to construction activities that will be taking place on these roads.

• The lane closure will occur between Old Lincoln Highway and the Neshaminy Exit in Bensalem Township from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following day. Crews will be removing construction barriers and completing other activities for a final traffic shift of northbound vehicles onto the reconstructed and widened northbound side of U.S. 1.
• Southbound Old Lincoln Highway will be closed for approximately two months beginning Monday from the ramp to southbound U.S. 1 to Bristol Road in Middletown Township for reconstruction. Drivers will be detoured south on U.S. 1, exit at the Neshaminy Interchange, then turn right onto Rockhill Drive to access Old Lincoln Highway.

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.
