Route 1 Traffic Pattern Change Rescheduled To Next Week

Update: 3:01 p.m. Thursday

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —A new traffic pattern that was expected to go into effect Thursday night into Friday on Rockhill Drive in Bensalem Township under the Route 1 Improvement Project has been delayed.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said Thursday it is postponing the new traffic pattern —part of the $116 million project to reconstruct, widen, and improve a three-mile section of U.S. 1 in Bensalem and Middletown townships —until next week.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:

• Thursday, April 25, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., a single-lane pattern with 15-minute traffic stoppages is planned in both directions on Rockhill Drive between Horizon Boulevard and Mall Boulevard.

The lane closures and stoppages are for setting up a new traffic pattern for continued construction on Rockhill Drive.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays may occur.

All scheduled activities are weather-dependent and subject to change.
