Langhorne-Yardley Road Construction Resumes Monday

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said that construction will continue on the $10.6 million project to improve traffic congestion and safety on Langhorne-Yardley Road starting Monday.

PennDOT said the work takes place at the Bridgetown Pike and Woodbourne Road intersections in Middletown Township.

Drivers are advised of a weekday travel restriction on Monday through late April, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the following locations:

• Woodbourne Road between Kilburn Road and the Core Creek Park driveway entrance.
• Langhorne-Yardley Road between Bridgetown Pike and Briggs Road

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur.

All scheduled activities are weather-dependent.

Under this contract, PennDOT’s contractor will construct a single-lane roundabout and realign the roadway; install upgraded traffic signals, stormwater management, ADA curb ramps, signage, and lighting; perform resurfacing operations; and improve mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists.

The existing signalized T-intersection at Langhorne-Yardley Road and Bridgetown Pike will be replaced by a single-lane roundabout.

The proposed roundabout will help decrease vehicular speeds while improving safety and traffic flow.

Drivers will be directed to use a detour route once the roundabout construction begins.
