Interstate 95 Interchange Public Hearing In Lower Bucks

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —PennDOT will host an open house to reveal plans for its massive Interstate 95/Bristol Pike/Street Road Interchange Improvement Project.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is inviting the public to attend an open house plans display on Thursday, June 27, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Bensalem Township Building at 2400 Byberry Road for the proposed project to improve the interchange.

The interchange has been the cause of numerous traffic issues over the years.

The project is currently in preliminary engineering.

It involves various interchange improvements, including constructing a fourth leg to the Bristol Pike (U.S. 13)/Street Road (Route 132) ramp intersection. That leg will provide one-way access to the southbound I-95 ramp.

Bristol Pike (U.S. 13) would also be widened to accommodate the new access to Interstate 95, and the new southbound on-ramp would merge with the existing ramp, which will be reconstructed under this proposed project.

The purpose of the public meeting is to update the community on this improvement project and to gather comments and feedback, officials said.

The meeting will be conducted as an open house plans display where citizens will have the opportunity to circulate among the subject displays to gather information and discuss the different facets of the project with PennDOT’s design team.

Anyone with questions or who needs additional information or has special needs requiring assistance before the meeting should contact PennDOT Project Manager Judith Arena.
