Several Falls Twp Roads To Close For Local Trooper's Funeral

FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA — The Falls Township Police Department advises local residents and other travelers to use alternative routes in the area, as several major roads will be closed for the funeral of Trooper Martin F. Mack III, who died in a crash on I-95 last week.

Levittown Parkway, South Oxford Valley Road, and North Oxford Valley Road to Big Oak Road will be fully closed to any through traffic. The closures will last from about 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 31.

The funeral, which will be held at St. Michael the Archangel Church, is located at 66 Levittown Parkway in the Levittown area. The service will begin at 11 a.m.

An estimated 5,000 members of law enforcement and hundreds of other mourners are expected to attend the funeral and pay their respects to the fallen trooper.

As a result, the Levittown Parkway from Route 13 to Kenwood Drive in both directions will also be closed from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

"Anyone regularly using any of these roadways during those hours is encouraged to make arrangements for an alternate route," the police department said in a statement.
