Meanwhile, construction is scheduled this week on Old Lincoln Highway at the U.S. 1 overpass under a project to reconstruct, widen and improve U.S. 1 in Bensalem and Middletown townships, Bucks County.

• Monday, Aug. 21, through Friday, Aug. 25, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., periodic stoppages of up to 15 minutes will take place on southbound Lincoln Highway for beam setting on the new southbound U.S.1 overpass.

The ITS equipment will be used by PennDOT’s Regional Traffic Management Center (RTMC) to monitor travel conditions and provide motorists with real-time information about area highways.
