Langhorne-Yardley Road Construction Resumes This Week

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA – Construction will continue this week on improvements to Langhorne-Yardley Road and Woodbourne Road this week, PennDOT said.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said the roadwork comes under a $10.9 million project to improve traffic congestion and safety on Langhorne-Yardley Road at the Bridgetown Pike and Woodbourne Road intersections in Middletown Township.

Drivers are advised of the following travel restrictions:

• Monday, Oct. 20, through Friday, Oct. 31, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a weekday lane closure with flagging will be in place on Langhorne Yardley Road between Bridgetown Pike and Briggs Road.
• Monday, Oct. 20, through Friday, Oct. 31, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a weekday lane closure with flagging will be in place on Woodbourne Road between Kilburn Road and Core Creek Park.

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 constructed a new single-lane roundabout at Langhorne-Yardley Road and Bridgetown Pike.

The roundabout was reopened on Aug. 15. Work also included realigning the roadway; installing upgraded traffic signals, stormwater management, ADA curb ramps, signage, and lighting; performing resurfacing operations; and improving mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Improvements on Langhorne-Yardley Road and its intersection with Woodbourne Road will continue through early 2026 and include realigning the northern leg of Woodbourne Road and constructing auxiliary turn lanes on all four approaches. The eastern leg of Woodbourne Road will also be widened to allow for a left turn lane on Langhorne-Yardley Road approaching Erica Drive.

James D. Morrissey, Inc. of Philadelphia, is the general contractor on this project, which is financed with 80 percent federal funds and 20 percent state funds.
