Resurfacing Underway On Roads In 3 Lower Bucks Co. Towns

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Resurfacing and road repairs are underway in three Lower Bucks County communities this week.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said that resurfacing operations are taking place on several state highways in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Philadelphia, and Montgomery counties under multiple ongoing projects to repair and resurface more than 200 miles of state highway across the five-county region.

Drivers are advised of the following travel restrictions:

• Monday, Sept. 29, through Friday, Oct. 3, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning, a lane closure with flagging will be in place on sections of Fallsington Tullytown Road between Low Lane and New Falls Road in Falls Township and Tullytown Borough for milling, paving, and utility construction.
• Monday, Sept. 29, through Friday, Oct. 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning, a lane closure with flagging will be in place on sections of Penn Valley Road/Hood Boulevard between Old Bristol Pike and Oxford Valley Road in Bristol and Falls townships for milling, paving, and utility construction.

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

All scheduled activities are weather-dependent.

Under these resurfacing and improvement projects, PennDOT’s contractors are repairing, milling, and repaving state highways with new asphalt pavement that will seal roadways and provide motorists with a safer and smoother riding surface.
