Route 1, Street Road Nighttime Lane Closures Continue Until Thursday

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —Nighttime lane closures for construction begin Sunday night on Route 1 and Street Road (Route 132) and are expected to continue through Thursday, PennDOT has announced.

All of the work is expected to take place between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., the agency said.

The work schedule and locations are:

• Alternating lane and ramp closures will be in place on Route 1 in both directions between the Pennsylvania Turnpike Interchange and Old Lincoln Highway for line striping.
• Alternating lane closures will be in place on Street Road (Route 132) between Kingston Way and Old Lincoln Highway for line striping.
• A single lane pattern will be in place on Route 1 between the Penndel/Business Route 1 and Pennsylvania Turnpike interchanges to complete the shift of northbound Route 1 traffic to the existing southbound bridge over Rockhill Drive for construction of the new bridge.

Motorists also are reminded that southbound Old Lincoln Highway remains closed through late September from the ramp to southbound Route 1 to Bristol Road in Middletown Township for reconstruction. Motorists are detoured south on Route 1 to the Neshaminy Interchange, then right onto Rockhill Drive back to Old Lincoln Highway.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through or near the work areas. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

PennDOT is reconstructing and widening almost three miles of Route 1, improving the interchanges, and constructing several new bridges — including new structures over the Neshaminy Creek and over rail lines near the Penndel exit— under two contracts (RC1, RC2) to rebuild, widen and improve Route 1 in Bucks County.
