BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA — Amtrak will begin to make repairs to the overhead bridge on Haunted Lane starting on Tuesday, PennDOT said.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said that drivers are advised of the following travel restrictions:

• Tuesday, Feb. 17, through Thursday, May 14, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Haunted Lane will be closed and detoured weekdays between Marshall Lane and U.S. 13 (Bristol Pike). During the closure, drivers will be directed to use State Road, Route 132 (Street Road), and U.S 13 (Bristol Pike).

Local access will be maintained, PennDOT said.

Drivers should allow extra time when traveling through or near the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather-dependent.
