LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —Construction is planned at night this week on Rockhill Drive for the Route 1 Reconstruction in Bensalem Township, PennDOT said.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said construction is planned at night this week on Rockhill Drive in Bensalem Township under PennDOT’s $116 million project to reconstruct, widen, and improve a three-mile section of U.S. 1 in Bucks County.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:

• Monday, Nov. 4, through Thursday, Nov. 7, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning, a single-lane pattern will be in place in both directions on Rockhill Drive between Old Lincoln Highway and Neshaminy Boulevard for drainage installation and bridge painting.
