Route 1 Phase 3 Traffic Improvements Outlined

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA — PennDOT is planning to launch Phase 3 of the Route 1 Traffic Improvements Project and is scheduling a virtual public meeting to address concerns with Lower Bucks County residents and commuters.

The public meeting, hosted by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday for the project to improve safety and congestion along a 2.7-mile section of Route 1.

The project will extend from just north of the bridges carrying Route 1 over the CSX/SEPTA rail lines and Business Route 1 to just north of the bridge carrying Corn Crib Lane over Route 1 in U.S. 1 in Middletown Township, and Langhorne Manor and Langhorne boroughs, PennDOT said.

U.S. 1 Section RC3 is the fourth of four construction contracts that comprise the improvements project to replace aging bridges and pavement and make safety and operational enhancements along the highway stretch, PennDOT said.

At the virtual meeting, PennDOT's design team will deliver a project presentation before opening the meeting to questions using the platform’s Q&A feature. Click here to sign up for the meeting
