Route 1 Improvements Project Moving Into Phase 3

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —PennDOT is planning a virtual meeting Wednesday to provide an update on the Route 1 Improvements Project.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is inviting the public to attend a live virtual meeting for the upcoming U.S. 1 Section RC3 project to improve safety and congestion along a 2.7-mile section of U.S. 1 in Middletown Township and Langhorne Manor and Langhorne boroughs.

Section RC3 extends from just north of the bridges carrying U.S. 1 over the CSX/SEPTA rail lines and Business U.S. 1, to just north of the bridge carrying Corn Crib Lane over U.S. 1, PennDOT said.

Section RC3 is the third of three construction contracts that comprise PennDOT’s U.S. 1 Improvement Program to widen U.S. 1, replace aging bridges, and complete several highway safety enhancements along a five-mile segment of the highway.

As part of PennDOT's public outreach program, the department encourages the public to attend the live virtual meeting for Section RC3 on Wednesday, April 23, at 7 p.m. by clicking on this Microsoft Live Teams meeting link before the presentation start time.

The department’s design team will deliver a project presentation before opening the meeting to questions using the platform’s Q&A feature.

Please note that internet access or a computer or mobile device are required to view the virtual meeting. Anyone with special needs or requiring special aid is requested to contact PennDOT Design Project Manager Ken Yerges at 717-741-6209 or PennDOT Project Manager Sibty Hasan at 610-205-6854.
